Russian President Vladimir Putin continues to exert a lot of pressure: according to a media report, he wants to claim further areas in Ukraine if Kiev does not quickly agree with the earlier Moscow claims.
Kiev had to acknowledge the loss of Crimea and the areas of Luhansk, Donetsk, Saporischschja and Cherson according to the daily newspaper “Kommersant”, said during a meeting with Russian entrepreneurs behind closed doors. If Ukraine does this in the near future, Moscow will not make any demands on Odessa and other regions. The meeting took place immediately before Putin’s phone call with US President Donald Trump. There, the Kremlin -Baas for the time being rejected an extensive cessation -the fire.
According to the report, the 72-year-old was optimistic that the Ukrainian forces could not stop the Russian troops. “They can’t excavate,” the newspaper called a statement from the secret meeting, referring to the entrepreneurs present. In fact, last year the Russian army occupied around 3,600 square kilometers of Ukrainian soil. Finally, the pace of the Russian advance in Ukraine has fallen considerably.
According to Senskyj’s war, Russia does not want to end
During a joint press conference with Finnish President Alexander Stubb in Helsinki, the Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Senskyj accused the Kremlin not to end the war. He asked the United States to control a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine. You must concentrate on the energy systems. The Russian attacks on Ukraine at night had influenced the energy supply, traffic and civil infrastructure, Senskyj continued.
He hoped that the agreed part of the cease -the fire would be implemented. So far, Russia has shown that it was not ready to end the war. Putin, who agreed on Tuesday in a phone call to US President Donald Trump on a 30-day suspension of attacks on the energy infrastructure, would be in contradiction with reality, Selenskyj explained. Stubb confirmed that Kyiv had the undisputed right to continue to defend himself. This right could not be limited in any way. “Ukraine is European,” said Stubb. “Hopefully we will soon be united in the EU and in NATO.” Finland will be at Ukraine as long as it is necessary.
