Zelenski informs David Cameron of the course of the war in Ukraine

The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenski, has received in Kiev the British Foreign Minister, David Cameron, whom he has informed about the situation on the front and has requested that the new military aid package to Kiev announced by London last week arrive “as soon as possible” in Ukraine.

“I have informed the Foreign Minister about the situation on the front. It is important that the weapons contained in the United Kingdom support package announced last week arrive as soon as possible,” Zelenski wrote on his social networks.

“Before anything else, armored vehicles, ammunition and missiles of various types,” the Ukrainian head of state added about the material included in the package that Kiev needs more urgently.

Zelenski also visited the Jmelnitsky region (western Ukraine) on Friday and discussed with the civil and military authorities the security situation in this oblast, with special attention to air defenses and the means of electronic warfare and the protection of the nuclear power plant in the area.

London approved last month the largest military aid package in the United Kingdom so far for Ukraine. This aid item worth 580 million euros includes Storm Shadow long-range guided missile systems, more than 400 military vehicles, 1,600 defensive and attack missiles and four million units of ammunition.

This new British aid arrives at a particularly difficult time on the battlefield for Ukraine, which in recent weeks has had to give way in the eastern region of Donetsk due to enemy superiority in personnel and ammunition for artillery.

The United Kingdom will contribute with gas turbines, cogeneration technologies and mobile generators so that Kiev can face the consequences of Russian attacks on its energy infrastructures and decentralize the Ukrainian electricity generation system to make it less vulnerable.

In a statement published last night, Cameron announced his visit to Kiev and confirmed the sending of an energy support package to Ukraine worth 36 million pounds (41 million euros) and the supply of precision guided bombs and air defense equipment.

In just one week, Russia has destroyed or damaged much of the Ukrainian electricity generation infrastructure in a campaign of air strikes that Ukraine has not been able to repel due to its shortcomings in air defense.

In his meeting with Cameron in Kiev, Zelenski also spoke with the head of British diplomacy about the Global Peace Summit that Kiev organizes on June 15 and 16 in Switzerland to obtain the support of as many countries as possible for the so-called Ukrainian Peace Formula.

This document requires, among other things, the withdrawal of Russian troops from the invaded country and the restoration of the territorial integrity of Ukraine.

On the other hand, at least 546 children have died in Ukraine and 1,319 have been injured of various considerations as a result of the Russian military aggression against this country that began on February 24, 2022, according to data published today by the Ukrainian Prosecutor’s Office.

The most recent victims occurred this Thursday, according to the Prosecutor’s Office.

On the other hand, the Kremlin spokesman, Dmitri Peskov, described the “verbal escalation” of Paris and London about the conflict in Ukraine as dangerous and warned that it could pose a threat to the entire architecture of European security.

Peskov specifically alluded to the statements of the French president, Emmanuel Macron, about the possibility of sending troops to Ukraine and those of the head of the United Kingdom’s diplomacy, David Cameron, about the Ukrainian troops has the right to use British weapons to attack the territory of Russia.

Zelenski urges global action after russian ballistic missile strike

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenski called on the international community Thursday to “respond” to Russia’s ballistic missile strike on Ukraine, which he said has heightened the “escalation and brutality” of the conflict.

“The world must react. So far, there has been no strong response,” Zelenski lamented in a social media statement.

“We must act. We must pressure. We must push Russia towards real peace, which is only achievable through strength,” he added.

Russian President Vladimir Putin confirmed Thursday that Russia had launched a new type of hypersonic ballistic missile against Ukraine in its “non-nuclear configuration.”

Elon Musk plans sweeping cuts to U.S. bureaucracy and spending

Elon Musk has pledged massive cuts to government programs, subsidies, and bureaucracy in his anticipated role as a “State Efficiency” leader, according to an article published Wednesday in The Wall Street Journal.

The billionaire entrepreneur plans to target hundreds of billions of dollars in federal spending, including funds for public broadcasting and Planned Parenthood. Musk called government bureaucracy an “existential threat” to American democracy.

Teaming up with fellow businessman and Trump ally Vivek Ramaswamy, Musk aims to streamline federal regulations and implement significant administrative and cost reductions.

“We are entrepreneurs, not politicians. We will serve as external volunteers, not federal officials or employees,” Musk and Ramaswamy stated in the article.

Putin warns of escalation, suggests strikes on western weapon suppliers

Russian President Vladimir Putin declared that the conflict in Ukraine is taking on the characteristics of a “global war,” warning that Russia might target Western nations supplying Ukraine with weapons used in attacks on Russian territory.

These remarks come after a day of heightened tensions, during which Russia launched a state-of-the-art medium-range missile designed to carry a nuclear warhead. However, this particular missile was loaded with conventional explosives.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the missile strike, calling it the action of a “deranged neighbor” using Ukraine as a “military testing ground.”

Earlier, Ukraine accused Russia of attacking the central-eastern city of Dnipro with a missile exhibiting “all the characteristics” of an intercontinental missile, an unprecedented development in the ongoing conflict.
