Rat u Ukrajini

[Henry Chinaski]

Ne vjerujem da će doći do sastanka, bezbednosno je to veliki rizik za Vladimira, nije isto kao let za Aljasku.

Hours earlier, US President Donald Trump said his plans for an imminent summit in Budapest with Russia's Vladimir Putin had been shelved as he did not want a "wasted meeting".

President Volodymyr Zelensky said the attacks proved Moscow had not come under enough pressure for its continued war.

The Kremlin has rejected calls for a ceasefire along the current front lines made both by Trump and European leaders.

However, Russian officials said on Wednesday that preparation for a Trump-Putin summit was continuing, disputing the US president's assessment that it had been put on hold.

Zelensky and Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson signed a letter of intent that could see Sweden supply 100 to 150 domestically produced Gripen fighter jets to Ukraine.

The jets are expected to be delivered over a 10-15 year timeline, with the first sent to Ukraine "within three years", Kristersson added.

Ukraine's air force said Russia had sent 405 drones and 28 missiles, 15 of which were ballistic.

The capital was under a ballistic missile warning for most of the night, and echoed to the sound of explosions. By morning rescue teams fought fires in residential buildings.

Konacno nove sankcije na kojima se radilo mesecima unazad

The Trump administration on Wednesday imposed sanctions on Russia’s two largest oil companies as it called on Moscow to agree to an immediate ceasefire in the war with Ukraine.

 

“Now is the time to stop the killing and for an immediate ceasefire,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a statement Wednesday announcing the sanctions. “Given President Putin’s refusal to end this senseless war, Treasury is sanctioning Russia’s two largest oil companies that fund the Kremlin’s war machine.”

“Treasury is prepared to take further action if necessary to support President Trump’s effort to end yet another war. We encourage our allies to join us in and adhere to these sanctions,” he said.

The sanctions hit Rosneft and Lukoil and almost three dozen of their subsidiaries.

 

Earlier Wednesday, Bessent had previewed the sanctions as “one of the largest,” noting Trump’s disappointment with Russian President Vladimir Putin and the state of talks to end the war in Ukraine, following a summit in Alaska more than two months ago.
