Day 81 in Russia’s war against Ukraine: These are the most important developments of the day.
The most important messages of May 15 in short:
-
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is sure: after his country’s triumph in the Eurovision Song Contest, the upcoming event will take place in a “happy Ukraine”.
-
Italian police have averted a cyber attack on the 66th Eurovision Song Contest. The Russian hacker group “Killnet” wanted to disrupt the final, they said.
- While negotiations over the fate of the fighters entrenched in the Azov steel mill in Mariupol have come to a standstill, there is good news: a convoy of refugees was able to leave the city and arrived safely in Zaporizhia, 200 kilometers away.
- There is praise for the Austrian refugee aid from the head of the UNHCR. About 130,000 people have been admitted since the refugee crisis in 2015. “That’s not a small number. I appreciate that,” says Filippo Grandi.
The Russian military offensive in Ukraine is the culmination of a conflict that has been raging for years. A chronology of the events can be found here.
