Сегодня директор СВР России Нарышкин посоветовал Зеленскому принять выдвинутый Россией ультиматум о выводе Сил обороны Украины из Донбасса. Позже Песков заявил, что Зеленский должен «уже сегодня» принять решение о выводе ВСУ из региона.

Я бы понял эти заявления, если бы они сопровождались существенными продвижениями российских сил на Донбассе, но ситуация на поле боя за последние два месяца принципиально не изменилась. Более того, ВСУ проводят локальные контратаки в Удачном, Зализничном, Родинском, Миньковке и других населённых пунктах, о захвате которых уже давно заявила Россия, но по факту полностью их так и не контролирует.

На фоне проблем с кредитом в 90 млрд евро и задержки антироссийских санкций из-за позиции Орбана, Россия пытается «прогнуть» позицию Зеленского.

Подробно реальную ситуацию на поле боя смотрите на YouTube.

🇺🇦🇳🇴 Zelensky: We discussed with the Prime Minister of Norway Jonas Gahr Støre the situation in the world in general and our bilateral work in particular.

We are very much counting on the results in communication with the American team, we all need them. We are also preparing our joint work with European partners in the coming days and weeks.

Spoke about the meetings and negotiations in the Middle East and the Gulf region: we are working for the sake of common security. There are already important agreements, and the circle of countries interested in security cooperation with us is expanding.

Ukraine is open to the same effective cooperation with European countries, and the appropriate foundation has already been laid by our bilateral agreements on defense production and other joint activities.

Norway is one of the leaders in supporting Ukraine, and it is logical that it is natural for us to be partners in security. We discussed specific steps with Jonas, and the teams will work on this. Our approach is a long-term partnership that can strengthen both us and our partners. And above all, it concerns the protection of the sky.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 JD Vance has been communicating with Pakistani intermediaries about the Iran conflict, signaling that Trump is open to a ceasefire if U.S. demands (like reopening the Strait of Hormuz) are met, - Reuters

He also warned Iran that failure to agree could lead to increased pressure on its infrastructure.

Pakistan is acting as a go-between, and Vance is taking a growing role in negotiations as the conflict enters its fifth week.

Armenia is not participating in the work of the CSTO because the authorities cannot explain to the Armenian people why the organization did not intervene in the situation in Karabakh.
