A peace summit is “necessary” and Ukraine wants to hold it “as soon as possible: July would be ideal”. However, the basis for this summit should be the 10-point plan presented by Kiev, said the head of the Ukrainian presidential office, Andriy Yermak, in an interview with the Russian news agency Interfax. The senior official published part of the interview on his Telegram channel.
“Today a peace summit is needed. Everyone understands this fact. Moreover, everyone accepts as perfectly logical and fair the argument that the basis for it should be the Ukrainian peace plan – President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s 10 points,” Yermak said. “Now Ukraine’s position is clear: our plan is the basis, but we are ready to listen to all countries that respect our sovereignty and territorial integrity,” the senior official continues. “We are ready to accept some elements of other proposals.” “The current question is where and when to hold the peace summit. Of course we want it to take place as soon as possible. July would be ideal. Global South leaders will certainly attend,” he concludes. And “In my opinion, we are very close to the success of these consultations. We expect a large number of participants at the summit.”
“As long as the current regime and the clown Zelenskyy are in power in Kiev, talks will be impossible,” said former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, current Deputy Chairman of the National Security Council, during his visit to Vietnam. This was reported by the Russian news agency Tass. “Everything always ends in negotiations. It is inevitable, but as long as these people are in power, the situation for Russia in terms of negotiations will not change,” he added.
“As for the proposed peace plans, all should be considered,” the former Russian president also said, commenting on the peace initiatives proposed by China and other countries. This was reported by the Russian news agency Tass. The Russian Foreign Ministry had previously given the Pope’s peace initiative a positive rating.
“Russian terrorists reaffirm their status as fighters against everything humane and honest. A rocket attack on a clinic in the city of Dnipro. So far one person has been killed and 15 injured. The consequences of the bombings are eliminated and the victims are saved. All necessary services are involved.” Volodymyr Zelenskyy published a video on Telegram about the consequences of the attack. “We must defeat these beasts irrevocably and as soon as possible. Because our time is our people. And our people are the most valuable thing in Ukraine.”
“One dead and 15 injured, including 2 children. The rescue of the victims continues.” The governor of Dnepropetrovsk Serhiy Lysak writes on Telegram in an update on the attack on the clinic in Dnipro. “Two buildings were occupied. In total, the fire covered 500 square meters. Rescuers are now putting out the fires.” “Among the injured in Dnipro are two children. Boys aged 3 and 6 years. Both are hospitalized. Doctors rate her condition as moderate,” Lysak wrote on Telegram. “Eleven adults were also hospitalized. Two are serious.”
At least four explosions were heard last night in southeastern Ukraine’s Dnepropetrovsk Oblast, and particularly in the regional capital Dnipro, according to Ukrainian officials. The anti-aircraft alarm was activated in the region and in ten other Ukrainian oblasts, including Kiev, during these hours.
Explosions reported by the military administration were also reported in the capital Kyiv who reported that Ukrainian air defenses were deployed on the city and the surrounding area. Dnipro Mayor Borys Filatov did not mention any explosions, but told Telegram not to “film or publish anything”. Ukrainian officials ask residents not to post photos or videos of Russian attacks so as not to reveal sensitive information to the enemy side. According to Ukrainian state media, today’s air alert was triggered by the launching of cruise missiles from Russian territory.
Several explosions were also reported in the Russian-occupied city Berdyansk, in southern Ukraine’s Zaporizhia Oblast. According to reports, Moscow forces recently transported ammunition to the site of the attack. According to local pro-Russian officials, Kiev launched a “massive attack” on the city. Berdyansk has been under Moscow occupation since February 2022 and is about 100 kilometers south of the front line.
There were explosions downtown this morning Krasnodar, the capital of the southern Russian territory of the same name. This was reported by local media, after which the city’s air defense went into action after a drone attack on the center. Regional authorities, quoted by the Tass agency, confirmed at least one explosion, adding that property damage had occurred, but “based on initial estimates, no one would have been injured.” Already on May 5, there were explosions in the Ilsky oil refinery in this Russian region, which are also believed to have been caused by a drone attack. In recent weeks there have been increasing reports of attacks on Russian territory, including the cross-border raid on Russia’s Belgorod Oblast.
