In the Russian Federation, hospitals are overcrowded with servicemen who participated in hostilities in Ukraine and do not want to return there.

"Putin turned out to be partially right in his calculations: by that time, some politicians had already made a decision for themselves to surrender Ukraine. They were ready to express concern, introduce semi-sanctions and continue life. But some were against it. The President and the people of Ukraine," he wrote in his Twitter adviser to the head of the OP.
"Sometimes one person can change everything simply by making the right choice. Do not listen to analysts, but listen to the heart. It is not too late for politicians in Europe to make this choice. It's time to take responsibility for the future of Europe and abandon Russian oil and gas," Podolyak said.

16:00 Zelenskiy, in an interview with CBS, said that a new, most difficult stage of the war is now beginning in the east and south of Ukraine: "We do not know how much equipment there will be, and we understand that there will be many times more than now. We see the accumulation of the military We understand almost all the corridors where the enemy will go We understand what he is going to do, and we understand that the speed of how they will help us, and above all, by the way, the United States, from that speed, how they can hand over weapons to us, I’ll tell you honestly, it depends on whether we stand or not,” he said.

15:39 The representative of the "DPR" Eduard Basurin suggested using chemical weapons against the Ukrainian military, who are defending themselves at Azovstal.

15:33 Zelensky about the battle for Kiev: "I think this is not the final victory. I'm not sure that it is the last one. I'm sure that you can't say that we won the battle for Kiev, then lose something, I can't do that I will be able to say about this only when we win this war and liberate our territories. Because Bucha is part of a large Kiev. If people were exterminated in Bucha, Gostomel and Irpen, did we win this battle? I'm not sure. We held on and did not give up, I can confirm this. And whether we won, I'm not ready to talk about it."
15:27 Zelenskiy is convinced that Putin could have prevented war crimes as part of the invasion, since a rigid power vertical has been built in Russia.
"Whether he wanted it or not, whether he likes me or doesn't like me, whether he hates me as a person - I don't know. But this is not about personalities, this is about a war between two states. And that's why I'm talking about a dialogue between the leaders of the two countries. He could have prevented it, and therefore a lot depended on him, as now. You can’t close your eyes and say “we didn’t do it.” Even if you think that you didn’t do it, you have to say it to my eyes, you have to say this is in the eyes of the whole world," Zelensky said in an interview with CBS.
He also criticized the Russian position, which is that if Ukraine is destroyed, then no one will remember the war crimes.
"It is impossible to destroy the entire Ukrainian people and the whole world. You are no longer shaking hands, the whole world will not forget this. And we live in a modern technological world, so everything is there - video, audio, there will be books, memories," Zelensky added.
15:19 The head of the Kiev city military administration, Nikolai Zhirnov, said that the danger for Kiev remains: "As long as there is no peace, Kiev must be ready for defense. Considering that the capital is the political and economic center of Ukraine, today many are returning, the city is coming to life. KGVA takes measures to ensure that, without violating the general system of defense, it is possible to improve traffic in the city.
