+++ Ukraine-Krieg +++: Großflächige Stromausfälle in der Ukraine

Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed a limited weapons truce during a meeting with U.S. negotiators at the Kremlin, specifically for the contested city of Kostyantyniwka in the Donetsk region. The aim is to evacuate hundreds of people, similar to a previous humanitarian mission in Oleshky near Crimea, where US First Lady Melania Trump facilitated the mission.

Putin stated that Russia would need five days of ceasefire to clear the area of mines. He also claimed Ukraine assumes control of Kostyantyniwka, which is close to Kramatorsk. Putin emphasized his desire to see the city under Russian control. He envisioned the joint operation between Kiev and Moscow saving hundreds of lives, with international media representatives, including from the U.S., invited to assess the situation, much like the team from Oleschky.

Human rights officials from both Russia and Ukraine, mediated by U.S. First Lady Melania Trump, conducted the mission in Oleschky. Following the talks with Putin, Witkoff and Kushner plan to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Dublin. Britain has imposed sanctions on Russian oil producer Slavneft and various organizations and ships linked to the energy sector, marking the first time it has targeted the ten largest oil producers in Russia.
