AGI – The conflict in Ukraine “was deliberately provoked by the West to contain Russia.” This was reiterated by Russian President Vladimir Putin, Tass reported. The Moscow leader responds to Kiev leader Volodymyr Zelensky, who accused him of being behind the death of Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin, which occurred in a plane crash last month. “He killed Prigozhin, at least we have all this information,” he said.
Zelensky then stated that Ukraine was ready to organize elections even while the war with Russia was still ongoing. “I am ready for the elections. I mean, we are ready if necessary,” he explained, adding that he supported the use of international observers because “the most important thing for us is not to hold the elections, but that they are recognized” .
The “Musk” question
“Sometimes a mistake is much more than just a mistake. By not allowing Ukrainian drones to destroy part of the Russian military fleet through Starlink interference, Elon Musk allowed this fleet to fire Kalibr missiles against Ukrainian cities. Civilians and children die as a result“. This is the complaint of Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak, commenting on advances in Musk’s biography of Walter Isaacson, according to which the billionaire ordered the deactivation of the Starlink satellites near Crimea last year to prevent an attack by Ukraine on Russian naval ships.
“That’s the price of a cocktail of ignorance and a big ego. However, the question still remains open“Podolyak concluded in his X post, “why do some people want so desperately to defend war criminals and their desire to murder?”
The difficulties in the counteroffensive
Russian air superiority “smashes” Ukrainian counteroffensive. Zelensky complained about slow Western arms deliveries and sanctions against Russia, repeating: “If we are not in heaven and Russia is there, they are keeping us out of heaven. They are stopping our counteroffensive.” The Ukrainian president then called for “stronger and more far-reaching” weapons. The arms deliveries to Kiev and the new sanctions against Russia would be “complicated and slow,” he concluded.
