The motorcade of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky came under fire in Odessa during the visit of the Greek Prime Minister to the city.

The publication Prototema claims that this morning the convoy with Zelensky, which at that moment was 150 meters from the Greek delegation led by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, came under air attack.

“Everything is fine with us,” Stavros Papastavrou, who was part of the Greek delegation, told the publication; there were no casualties as a result of the attack.

As a result, the meeting between Mitsotakis and Zelensky took place as usual.

The publication also publishes a photo after a rocket explosion in Odessa, not far from the place of their meeting.

Putin put forward conditions for the start of peace talks

“Ukraine refuses to join NATO and withdraws all its troops from the territories we have seized.” Russian dictator Putin has set conditions for ending the war in Ukraine

Putin put forward conditions for the start of peace talks

Putin has voiced the Kremlin’s official proposals to end the war with Ukraine.

In order for the process to start, the Russian dictator demands that Ukraine withdraw its troops from the Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions.

Also, one of Putin’s main demands is Ukraine’s refusal to join NATO.

The next conditions announced by Putin concern the negotiation process itself. They are as follows:

Ukraine’s neutral, non-aligned, non-nuclear status, its “demilitarization and denazification.”

Agreements on a peaceful settlement should imply the lifting of all sanctions against Russia.

He said that Russia’s new borders (with occupied Crimea, Donbass, Zaporozhye and Kherson) should be fixed by international treaties.

Putin also said that Russia is making another real peace proposal, but if the West and Kyiv refuse, they will be responsible for the bloodshed.

Clearly, Putin has no real peace proposals and no desire to end the war. This is the “standard aggressor’s kit,” highly offensive to international law.

The president of the aggressor country made such a proposal a day before the opening of the summit on the Ukrainian peace formula in Switzerland.

Apparently, the Kremlin wants to make sure that these statements become the main topic of the meeting rather than Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s peace formula.

Ukraine and the United States signed a 10-year security agreement

Joe Biden and Volodymyr Zelenskyy have signed a 10-year security agreement between the USA and Ukraine.

The agreement is meant to be a step towards Ukraine’s possible NATO membership.

The agreement with the US concerns the supply of squadrons of combat aircraft and Patriot anti-missile systems to Ukraine.

“Very specifically on Patriot systems, on the supply of combat squadrons to Ukraine. I’m not mistaken, specifically squadrons that include F-16s, but not limited to them,” the Ukrainian President said after signing the security agreement.

The US will first of all transfer air defense systems to Ukraine, and only then – to all other customers.

So Joe Biden commented on the priority of deliveries of Patriot systems.

“I have the support of five allied countries. Everything we have in terms of weapons and everything Ukraine needs will be provided,” Biden added at a briefing after the signing of the security agreement.

The signed security agreement does not imply sending US troops to Ukraine, Joe Biden has said.

“The United States is going to help Ukraine, but it will not send American troops to fight in Ukraine,”

“But we will provide weapons and ammunition, expand intelligence sharing, and continue to train brave Ukrainian soldiers,” the US president said.

Putin will get a standing ovation

“Putin will be pleased, and a standing ovation if Joe Biden doesn’t come to the Ukrainian peace summit in Switzerland,” Vladimir Zelensky said.

Putin will be pleased if Biden skips peace summit

Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy called Biden’s decision to skip the peace summit in Switzerland “not very strong”.

“I would very much like President Biden personally to attend the peace summit. With all due respect, I think the decision not to attend is not a very strong one.”

“I believe that President Biden needs the peace summit and needs the other leaders. Putin will give a standing ovation if Biden does not come to the Peace Summit,” the Ukrainian president said in Brussels.

Also, Zelensky noted that he still does not know who will represent the United States at the event.

It is known that Joe Biden will skip the summit for the sake of a pre-election fundraiser in Hollywood with American showbiz stars.

Ukraine hopes to host as many countries as possible at the summit in Switzerland.

According to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, more than 80 countries will take part in this meeting.

The Global Peace Summit will be held on June 15–16 in Bürgenstock, Switzerland.

Switzerland has invited more than 160 countries and international organizations, but not Russia.

If Ukraine had nuclear weapons, would we be attacked?

The breakthrough of the Russians in the direction of Kharkiv ended in military casualties 1 in 8. One Ukrainian for eight Russians – Vladimir Zelensky

If Ukraine had nuclear weapons, would we be attacked?

The Russian breakthrough on Kharkiv ended in military casualties 1 in 8. One Ukrainian for eight Russians – Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

The main thing from the interview with the President of Ukraine:

🔹 Under attack first, the Baltic countries are Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia. In these countries, we can try to test NATO’s reaction to an invasion by Russia.

🔹 I asked Biden and the EU to impose sanctions against the Kremlin, Putin, his entourage, and Russia’s energy industry before the invasion, so he knows it will hurt. But no one heard us.

🔹 Regarding the alliance – military and strategic—with Russia, there is no way any of your countries can have a strategic alliance with Putin.

🔹 China has to protect Ukraine and promised independent Ukraine security in the Budapest Memorandum based on Ukraine giving up nuclear weapons.

🔹  If Ukraine had nuclear weapons, would Russia attack us? No. So why talk about the balance between our countries?

🔹 The peace summit will have three items out of 10: nuclear energy security, food security and an all-for-all swap with the return of Ukrainian children.

🔹 Russia has always wanted a divided world. And this is the only way Putin can get away from the political and economic isolation of his country.
