kyiv cannot guarantee the “security” of leaders visiting Moscow on May 9
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said kyiv could not guarantee “the security” of international leaders who will be present in Moscow on May 9, during the celebrations of the 80th anniversary of victory against Nazi Germany.
“We do not know what Russia will do on this date. It could take different measures, such as fires, explosions, and then accuse us,” he said, when the leaders of around twenty countries must stand alongside Russian President Vladimir Putin on May 9, including his Chinese counterparts Xi Jinping and Brazilian Luiz Inacio Lula Da Silva, as well as those of traditional allies Kazakhstan, Belarus, Armenia, Cuba or Venezuela.
Volodymyr Zelensky says she does not want to “play” with the short truces offered by Putin
While Russia announced a three-day ceasefire next week, from May 8 to 10, on the occasion of the Moscow commemoration of victory over Nazi Germany during the Second World War, kyiv described this measure as “manipulation”. The Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky said he did not want to “play” with the short truces proposed by his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, estimating these deadlines too short to lead serious talks.
“It is impossible to agree on something in three, five or seven days (…) It is impossible to find a plan to establish the next steps to finish the war. It does not seem serious,” Volodymyr Zelensky told a small group of journalists on Friday, including those of AFP, once again calling for an unconditional truce of 30 days.
-Russian strikes are 47 injured in Kharkiv
Drones launched by Russia injured 47 civilians in Kharkiv, the second city in Ukraine, local police announced on Friday to Saturday. Russian local authorities have denounced a “massive attack” of Ukraine in the Russian region of Krasnodar (southwest) which was four injured.
“Hostile attacks on Kharkiv had the consequence of injuring 47 civilians,” the local Ukrainian police wrote on his Telegram account after the regional governor, Oleg Synegoubov, spoke about fifty people affected, including an 11 -year -old child. Four city districts (Slobidsky, Saltivsky, Kyivsky and Osnoviansky) were struck. “Fires have declared themselves. Residential buildings, civil infrastructure and cars have been damaged,” added Synegoubov.
Kharkiv, located near the Russian border, was the target of incessant attacks throughout the Russian invasion launched in February 2022. This raid occurred a few hours after Russian bombing on Zaporijjia (South), in which more than 20 people were injured.
On the Russian side, the regional governor of Krasnodar, Véniamine Kondratiev, announced on Telegram that the “Côte de la Mer Noire in the Krasnodar region had been targeted (Friday) evening by a massive attack on the Kiev regime”. “The most serious consequences are in Novorossiysk where three apartment blocks have been damaged and, according to a provisional assessment, four people were injured, two adults and two children,” he said.
These last strikes occurred after the signing on Wednesday evening in Washington on Wednesday evening of a historic economic agreement between Ukraine and the United States on the exploitation of natural resources of this country at war against Russia.
