The White House has announced that US Vice President Kamala Harris will participate in the “peace summit” in Switzerland. Meanwhile, the Swiss Senate has refused to allocate further aid to Ukraine in the amount of 5.6 billion dollars.
In the Ukrainian-Russian social sphere, Matteo Salvini’s statement caused a sensation: “I will tell Macron: go to Ukraine to fight, put on your helmet and don’t deceive the Italians,” said the Italian deputy prime minister. In the meantime, Rome has given the green light for the transfer of another SAMP/T air defense system to Ukraine, according to Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani.
According to The Washington Post, “French President Emmanuel Macron is bluffing when he proposes sending military trainers to Ukraine, and he could find himself in an embarrassing position if Russian leaders call his bluff.”
Chancellor Olaf Scholz said that the attacks on Russia with German weapons are not an escalation, the attacks will provide an opportunity to protect Ukraine’s large cities, especially Kharkiv.
Rumors are circulating in Ukraine that Zelensky asked Commander-in-Chief Syrsky to carry out a counteroffensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces against the positions of the Russian Armed Forces. According to the Ukrainian social sphere, there are at least two objectives that Zelensky would like to achieve: “territorially effective and must take place before the ‘peace summit’ in Switzerland”.
