🇺🇦🚫❌🗳No elections - neither presidential nor parliamentary - can take place in Ukraine during martial law, National and Security Defense Counci Secretary Olexiy Danilov said on the telethon.

In this way, he responded to the statement of PACE head Tiny Cox(Martinus Josephus Maria "Tiny" Kox is a Dutch politician who has been serving as President of Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe since 2022.) about the need for Ukraine to hold parliamentary and presidential elections, even under martial law. According to Cox, the allies will have no complaints about Ukraine if the elections are "not perfect."

"PACE should clearly understand that we have our own Constitution and the laws of our country, according to which we must live. And these PACE would be better off doing other things, not allowing the presence of the Russian Federation at home. We will figure it out on our own - according to our laws and according to our Constitution. When there is the introduction of the situation in which we are today, no elections can take place. Period," Danilov said.

🇺🇦⚔️🇷🇺Ukraine itself will make decisions on the counteroffensive, not NATO — Jens "NATO is not party to the conflict in Ukraine" Stoltenberg stated

The Alliance will continue to provide the necessary support, the Secretary General noted

Operational decisions on the counteroffensive will be made by Ukraine, while the North Atlantic Alliance will continue to provide the necessary support. This was stated on Tuesday by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg in an interview with Dozhd (recognized in the Russian media as a foreign agent).

"All operational decisions will be made by Ukrainians themselves, we just support Ukraine in the process of liberating the territory. How this will happen - for one big offensive or for several separate offensives - it will be decided not by NATO countries, but by Ukrainians themselves, and we must provide the necessary support as much as necessary," he said, commenting on a possible counteroffensive by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The Secretary General of the alliance also said that he welcomes the UK's decision to supply Ukraine with long-range cruise missiles. "Ukraine needs more ammunition, weapons. The types of support change over time," Stoltenberg said. - In addition to supplying new weapons, it is necessary to make sure that all the weapons that were supplied to Ukraine could be used effectively, there were the necessary spare parts, maintenance." He expects that at the July summit in Vilnius, NATO members will declare continued support for Ukraine and the supply of new types of weapons.

According to Stoltenberg, NATO does not yet see any changes in the actions of the Russian nuclear forces that would require a response from the alliance.

"Unfortunately, the level of equipment that we have is still not enough to launch a counteroffensive," he said in an interview with Sky News. Zhovkva added that Zelensky went on a European tour with the main purpose of requesting additional packages of military assistance. According to the deputy head of Zelensky's office, Kiev wants the counteroffensive to be as successful as possible.

▪️ The Russian Federation has not launched as many "Kinzhals" as they allegedly shoot down with their statements every time

▪️ The number of these "Ukrainian interceptions is three times more than we launch."

🇺🇸🇺🇦🇷🇺The White House said it "cannot confirm" the damage to the Patriot air defense system after the Russian strike on Kiev.

But, if this happened, and repairs were needed outside of Ukraine, the United States would help with this.
