‼️ Zelenskyy: Ceasefire will be violated – monitoring must be addressed swiftly
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized the critical importance of establishing a monitoring mechanism in the event of a ceasefire agreement, as he is convinced there will inevitably be violations.
"If a one-month ceasefire is agreed upon, then broadly speaking, there will be no full-scale warfare during that month. But violations will absolutely occur – not 90%, but 100%. Still, the scale of war we see today will diminish. Everyone understands the need to quickly resolve the monitoring issue. Ceasefire is priority number one," Zelenskyy told reporters.

‼️ KSE university in Ukraine aims to raise investment per student to $10,000 – KSE President
The Kyiv School of Economics (KSE), a private Ukrainian university, is aiming to increase its investment per student to $10,000 through a new $40 million campus project, which includes the purchase of a golf club in the Obolon district of Kyiv. According to KSE President Tymofiy Mylovanov, this level of investment is crucial to training the kind of professionals Ukraine needs to survive and thrive as a nation under existential threat.
"The Russian empire is currently investing up to $10,000 per student at top universities like MIPT and MSU, and around $4,000 at average institutions – paying salaries to specialists, providing student stipends, and creating living conditions so they can focus solely on their studies. And what about Ukraine? Here, investment is about $1,500 at non-top universities, $2,500 at top ones, $4,000-5,000 at UCU (Ukrainian Catholic University), and up to $8,000 at KSE. We want to bring that number to $10,000," he told Interfax-Ukraine in an interview.

‼️ KSE to invest $10 mln in transforming Kyiv Golf Club into world-class university campus – KSE President
The Kyiv School of Economics (KSE) plans to invest $10 million in internal renovations of the recently acquired Golf Club in Kyiv's Obolon district—purchased for $18 million – to develop a campus that meets the standards of the world's leading universities, KSE President Tymofiy Mylovanov said.
"About $10 million will go into the interior reconstruction – not the exterior. Everything needs to be gutted to make way for labs, amphitheaters, and makerspaces. Outfitting the campus with high-quality, modern educational features like those in top-tier universities will cost $10 million," Mylovanov told Interfax-Ukraine.

‼️ Zelenskyy: 70% of Hungarians support Ukraine's EU accession, don't drag us into your elections
An overwhelming majority of Hungarian citizens support Ukraine's accession to the European Union, despite the stance of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who initiated a public opinion survey in the country on the matter, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
"By the way, Orbán's opposition organized an open survey for all Hungarians. Seventy percent support Ukraine joining the EU. So, the people of Hungary are with us. You know he conducted his own survey – supposedly showing people were against it. He controlled that poll. But there's another poll, and it shows 70% in favor of Ukraine," Zelenskyy said during a conversation with journalists.

‼️ Ukraine, Czech Republic intend to create structure for training pilots, technicians for F16 – Zelenskyy
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that Ukraine and the Czech Republic intend to cooperate in creating a Ukrainian-Czech center for training pilots and technicians for F16. Zelenskyy wrote about this on Telegram following his visit to the Czech Republic and talks with President of the Czech Republic Petr Pavel.
"Today, President Pavel and I, as well as representatives at the government and military levels, are discussing the next steps in the development of our aviation coalition, namely the creation of a Ukrainian-Czech F-16 school. It is obvious that as of now, for security reasons, we cannot open such a base in Ukraine: Russian strikes continue daily. And that is why we are working with partners so that such schools can open outside Ukraine. And it will happen. We agreed that the Czech Republic will be with us in implementing relevant decisions," Zelenskyy wrote.
