Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy faces a pile-up of challenges on Wednesday — massive Russian attacks, progress in diplomatic negotiations, but also serious corruption accusations against people close to him. teraz.sk ↗
On Wednesday, the Russian army launched more than 800 drones at Ukraine in one of the most intense attacks since the start of the war. The attack targets areas closest to the NATO border, including the Zakarpattia region. According to Ukrainian authorities, at least nine people died in the attacks and many more were injured, with the Dnipropetrovsk region hit hardest. President Zelenskyy described the situation in the Russian-held city of Kherson as a "safari on civilians." During the night, Russia also attacked with hundreds more drones. Ukraine responded to the Russian attacks by striking gas facilities in Russia's Orenburg region, located more than 1,500 kilometers from the border. hnonline.sk ↗
On the diplomatic level, Zelenskyy gained additional support. On Wednesday, he met with representatives of the Bucharest Nine (B9) and briefed them on the situation on the front line. Slovak President Peter Pellegrini subsequently confirmed that the reaction to Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico's stance toward Kyiv was positive and that Zelenskyy praised the conversation with Fico. Polish President Karol Nawrocki also met with Zelenskyy and confirmed the continuation of Polish support for Ukraine. The president called on NATO to demonstrate unity and strength at the July summit, and expressed hope that US President Donald Trump would discuss the war in Ukraine with Chinese leader Xi Jinping during his visit to China. hnonline.sk ↗
Among the positive news is also an agreement with 13 countries and NATO to create an anti-ballistic coalition and develop domestic capacities for producing systems to defend against ballistic missiles. Ukraine is thus strengthening its diplomacy and security position. respekt.cz ↗
The situation regarding corruption is unambiguously negative. Andriy Yermak, the former head of Zelenskyy's office, has been officially charged with money laundering in connection with the construction of a luxury residential complex near Kyiv. The investigation also concerns allegations of influence over strategic state enterprises and accepting bribes worth approximately 100 million dollars. The main suspect is also Zelenskyy's friend and former business partner Timur Mindich. However, Ukraine's anti-corruption bureau stated that the president himself is not currently the subject of the investigation. The accusations were subsequently compounded by Zelenskyy's former spokeswoman Yuliia Mendel, who in an interview for an American conservative commentator criticized the president for authoritarian behavior and negative traits. novinky.cz ↗
Moscow, meanwhile, claims the war is nearing its end, although specific dates and a plan are not forum24.cz ↗
