Trump–Ukraine scandal

"The very leakage of information about a possible visit of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to our country is a prerequisite, if there was such a visit, for it to be canceled". This is what Defense Minister Todor Tagarev told journalists after observing a multinational exercise at the training ground in Novo Selo.

In this context, he pointed to conflict situations and threats around the world in recent days, including the Balkans.

"We have passed an important step in our approach to the EU," said the President of Ukraine last night.
"Kyiv has started to significantly export electricity to the territory of the EU, to Romania," Zelensky said, adding that it was "only the first step".

"At the last meeting in Davos, I said that the dividing line between Russia and Ukraine must return to the previous status quo, because continuing the war beyond that point could turn it into a war not for the freedom of Ukraine, but a war against Russia. For this, I was subjected to a lot of criticism, not least from Mr. Zelensky.

He said that while waiting for the decision of the European Union on granting the status of a candidate country.
"Obviously, we should expect Russia, for example, to intensify its hostile activities this week," Zelensky said in his nightly video address.
"And not only against Ukraine, but also against other European countries. We are preparing. We are ready," Zelensky added.

During the visit of the three European leaders to Kyiv, they pledged to provide full support to Ukraine's membership in the European Union.
Russia's announcements about the continuation of negotiations have met with criticism from Kyiv.
Ukrainian negotiator Mykhailo Podolyak said that it was actually an attempt to deceive the world and then stab Ukraine in the back.

US President Joe Biden announced $1 billion worth of new arms for Ukraine Wednesday as Pentagon officials defended the pace and quality of supplies as meeting Kiev's battlefield needs.

Ukraine paid a "terrifying" price for that fight, Volodymyr Zelensky added, as reported by the Guardian.
The Ukrainian President made this statement late last night, during his night address to the nation, at a time when Russian forces are close to capturing Sieverodonetsk, a strategic city in the east of the country, according to the British paper.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said his country's forces were "doing everything" to stop the Russian offensive, with fierce battles in the east and the south.

Kiev said Friday it had launched new air strikes in the captured southern region of Kherson, one of the first areas to be taken by Russia after the February 24 invasion.

"The only solution to the war is for Russia to leave Ukraine completely, and there must be no compromise on this issue. Any other option would mean frozen conflict and continuing instability." This was stated by Prime Minister Kiril Petkov during the international security forum GLOBSEC in Bratislava.
