Yellen Denies Putin's "Theft" Accusations
US Finance Minister Janet Yellen disagrees with Vladimir Putin, who labeled the freezing of Russian assets abroad and their use to support Ukraine as "theft." Yellen stated in an interview on ABC's "This Week," that the seized Russian assets will remain stationary. Russia has no rights to the earnings generated by the frozen assets, she added. After Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the US and its allies decided to seal Russian state funds within their jurisdiction, Yellen explained. This amounts to approximately 280 billion dollars. "Moreover, about 200 billion dollars is in a Belgian financial institution where they generate income that does not belong to Russia, and that income has been transferred to this institution," she continued. The G7 countries have agreed to loan Ukraine over 50 billion dollars, which will be paid from the interest on the frozen funds.

16:47 Kremlin Advocates for Thorough Analysis of Putin's Proposal
The leadership in Kiev is suggested by the Kremlin to have a detailed look at a potential withdrawal of troops from the east and south of Ukraine, to pave the way for peace talks. As per Kremlin spokesman Peskov, the ongoing situation at the front evidently indicates deterioration for the Ukrainians. Ukrainian President Zelensky is currently in Switzerland with various state and government heads discussing an end to the conflict. "A statesman who prioritizes the welfare of his nation over personal and selfish interests may well consider such a proposal," says Peskov. Previously, Moscow had suggested a truce and peace negotiations if Ukraine relinquishes its partially Russian-held regions in the east and south and renounces NATO membership. Further insights here.
16:23 Zelensky Puts Troop Withdrawal as Precondition for Peace Talks

16:14 Von der Leyen Sees No Genuine Intent from Putin to End War
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen states that the conference in Switzerland was accurately titled "Path to Peace," as peace is not achieved in a single step.

Preparations would take only a few months, not years, he said following the conclusion of a two-day conference attended by approximately 100 countries and organizations. Several states have already expressed their readiness to host such a summit. A requirement for Russian participation is that Moscow acknowledges the UN Charter, says EU Commission President Von der Leyen. The declaration, which was not signed by all participating countries, does not mention a follow-up conference.

However, she notes that for the first time, a high-level and broadly supported conference has discussed a peace process.

14:53 Union Calls for End to Aid for Ukrainians- Thorsten Frei, the parliamentary leader of the Union faction in the German Bundestag, has called for an end to the ongoing aid payments to Ukrainian refugees. The CDU politician argued that these aid payments create incorrect incentives. While it is crucial for Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression, many combat-ready Ukrainians in the country have been hiding, as the country not only needs weapons but also soldiers. Frei also advocates for changes in the aid distribution for Ukrainian women: The urgency of aid for the refugees is clear in the fact that the number of Ukrainian women seeking employment in Germany is surprisingly low.
14:17 Russia Takes Control of Another Village in Southern Ukraine- The Russian Defense Ministry reported that the forces of the Eastern Military District have captured the settlement of Sagrine in the Saporischja region. "Units of the Eastern Military District have taken control of the settlement and have gained advantageous positions," the Russian Defense Ministry reported. Russia's forces have been mainly moving forward in eastern Ukraine for months, but without significant breakthroughs. Before the capture of Sagrine, it had announced the capture of three other villages in the east, south, and north-east of Ukraine in the previous week. Russian troops had started an offensive in the north-east of Ukraine on May 10th, capturing several locations before their advance was halted by reinforced Ukrainian troops.
13:50 After Contentious "Peace Offering": Putin Not Ruleing Out Talks with Ukraine- According to Russian reports, Russian President Vladimir Putin is not ruling out talks with Ukraine. However, guarantees are needed to ensure the credibility of any potential negotiations, Russian media quote Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov. A few days ago, Putin made a peace offering that many observers see as tantamount to a Ukrainian surrender and granting Russia large territories of the country. Many observers consider it tainted to influence the conference in Switzerland. Kiev rejected the supposed offer immediately.
13:23 Trubetskoy on Exits from the War: "We're not avoiding negotiations with Moscow"- While representatives from 92 countries were discussing a peace plan for Ukraine at the Swiss Burgenstock, the fighting continued in the country being attacked by Russia.

12:49 Ukraine Summit Declaration in Switzerland Unlikely to Receive Unanimous Support- The final declaration of the Ukraine summit in Switzerland is unlikely to receive unanimous support, according to Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer. Some countries have issues with the wording of the declaration, Nehammer tells journalists at Burgenstock. There is a desire for a follow-up conference on Ukraine. However, it is too early to say how the format will look. In addition, one must see if Russia will be able to participate. Before the participation of a Russian delegation, there could be an interim conference, according to Nehammer.
12:23 Putin's Peace Offering: Ukrainian Soldiers don't want to "play with the Beast"- Putin announced that Russia is ready for a ceasefire and peace talks with Ukraine under certain conditions.

11:23 British Intelligence expects additional $29 billion revenue for Russia- The recently announced tax increases in Russia, according to British intelligence, "are likely with considerable certainty to be used for the financing of growing financial obligations, including the war in Ukraine." London expects additional revenue for the Kremlin in the amount of $29 billion by 2025 through the increase of the corporate tax rate from 20 to 25 percent. In addition, new tax classes will be introduced, and the highest income tax rate of 15 percent will be raised to 22 percent in the context of the new income tax system. "The higher tax burden for companies is likely to limit future investments and the growth of non-military sectors," says the British intelligence.
11:04 Peace conference in Ukraine: Nuclear security on the agenda- The nuclear security is a crucial topic at the peace conference in Ukraine, as multiple weapons have been discovered in the conflict zone recently. The emphasis is on securing these weapons to prevent a devastating nuclear disaster. This issue is of utmost importance to the international community, as the unstable situation in Ukraine could potentially lead to a nuclear catastrophe. The goal is to prevent the escalation of the conflict and safeguard the security of all nations involved.
The attendees of the international conference in Switzerland discussing Ukraine matters carried on their deliberations today, focusing on nuclear security, grain exports, and humanitarian issues like the missing Ukrainian kids. The outcomes will be integrated into a declaration. Press conferences are planned for the afternoon, featuring Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, among others, wrapping up the two-day meeting with the primary goal of initiating a peace process, eventually integrating Russia in the long haul. Moscow was not invited this time and expressed no interest in attending.
Historian Matthäus Wehewski from the Hannah-Arendt Institute for Totalitarianism Research thinks it's naïve to expect Putin to be open to compromises or negotiations. Referencing X, the head of the "Another Ukraine" movement, Wehewski claimed that Putin's supposed "peace offering" phase 2 is an "interview" with Viktor Medvedchuk, who is already Putin's marionette in the making. In the interview broadcasted by the Kremlin propaganda outlet TASS, Medvedchuk spewed falsehoods, such as Zelenskyy not representing the Ukrainian people's interests. He also declared that Russia's and the Ukrainian people's interest is "the liberation of Odessa and other cities" after Putin's peace offering was rejected. Medvedchuk repeated Kremlin narratives, speaking of a "complete denazification and demilitarization" of Ukraine. According to Historian Wehewski, the "Another Ukraine" movement comprises politicians from former pro-Russian parties in Ukraine. "Putin has already created an 'alternative' Ukrainian government, with which he intends to conduct 'negotiations' for the dismemberment and political/cultural subjugation of Ukraine. This strategy was already used by Stalin in 1939/40 against the Baltics or Finland."
Switzerland hosted state and government leaders to discuss ways to achieve peace in Ukraine, yet Russia was absent from the conference. Journalist Jürgen Weichert explained Russia's absence:
Ukraine continued to report high casualties on the Russian side - not as many as in May after the start of the Kremlin's offensive at the new third front in the Kharkiv region. Over the past day, 1,160 soldiers were reportedly killed. Additionally, six infantry fighting vehicles and 58 artillery pieces were destroyed. No reports of destroyed tanks were made. The figures could not be independently verified.
Ukraine is still waiting for the majority of the $61 billion aid package from the USA. However, a limited amount has arrived in the country, alleviating the artillery ammunition shortage. The Russian forces' advantage in available projectiles decreased from seven to one to five to one. Until significant Western help arrives to make a difference on the battlefield, it will probably take more weeks or months, according to the Ukrainian Defense Minister.
Dmytro Sakharuk from the Ukrainian energy conglomerate DTEK stated that the capacity of the coal power plants decreased from 5 Gigawatts to 500 Megawatts due to Russian attacks. This is a disaster for the upcoming heating season. Ukraine is trying to repair its power plants to restore at least some of the capacity, but they require parts such as turbines or generators, which are difficult to obtain. "This year there could be at least a short-term solution. We might get material from power plants that were built in countries like Poland, Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Romania, and Greece during the Soviet era," Sakharuk said in an interview with ntv.de. "This is the quickest way to restore at least some of our power generation capacity. Of course, the material doesn't always fit. Our power plant blocks will be 'Frankenstein units.'"
Christian Dörre, a cybersecurity expert at the Hasso-Plattner-Institute (HPI) in Potsdam, sees Germany as inadequately prepared against foreign disinformation campaigns and cyberattacks. "When it comes to hybrid threats, we are unfortunately not well-prepared," Dörre says. "The past two years of the Ukraine conflict have shown how unprepared and sometimes ineffective we as a society are in dealing with hybrid threats - from disinformation and fake news to attacks on our infrastructure."
06:07 UnityEngine Position Overhaul? Ukrainians Assert Seizing Russian TerritoryAccording to the Ukrainian Asow Brigade, Russian forces have lost ground in the Serebryansky Forest. This was shared by Swjatoslaw Palamar, the deputy commander of the 12th Brigade of the Asow National Guard, on social media. Nasar Voloshyn, a representative for the Chortyzja grouping, confirmed this: "Our forces are charging the enemy's positions and pushing back Russian defensive lines and firing positions. We're counter-attacking and seizing their firing positions on a tactical level and forcing them out of their lines." A military-affiliated channel also recently reported on these advances. The warfront in the Luhansk region lies within the Serebryansky Forest.
05:24 Interior Minister Conference Chief Slams Assistance to Ukrainian Refugees in GermanyThe chairman of the Interior Minister Conference, Michael Stübgen from Brandenburg, supports his Bavarian counterpart's call to stop providing citizens' benefits to war-fleeing Ukrainians in Germany. "It's nonsensical to speak of helping Ukraine as much as possible and, at the same time, feeding flag-fleeing Ukrainians," Stübgen told Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland. Moreover, Stübgen considers the decision to immediately pay citizens' benefits to refugees from Ukraine to be a grave mistake. "The employment rate of Ukrainians is dismal because citizens' benefits serve as a barrier to employment," he added. The federal government should reconsider its approach.
03:55 Ukraine Summit Minus U.S. President - Biden Has Other ObligationsDespite being close to the G7 Summit in Italy, US President Biden did not attend the Ukraine Conference in Switzerland, like other G7 members. Instead, Biden is flying back to the U.S. for a gala dinner with celebrities like Julia Roberts and George Clooney to boost his campaign funds. In his place, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris represents the U.S. at the Ukraine Summit.
02:50 von der Leyen: Peace Requires Ukraine's Territorial Integrity ResolutionAs per EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, the current war-torn situation should not be frozen. "Stagnating the conflict now with foreign troops occupying Ukrainian land isn't the answer," she said at the Ukraine Summit in Switzerland. "It's a recipe for future war attacks." Instead, summit participants should support a comprehensive, fair, and sustainable peace for Ukraine. This peace must also restore Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
01:28 Prepare First Aid and Stockpile Supplies: Latvia Practices for EmergenciesIn Latvia, a nationwide civil defense information day called "Armed with Knowledge" took place. In 14 cities and municipalities, the population learned how to act during crisis situations. Knowledge was imparted on providing first aid, setting up emergency supplies, and dealing with explosive objects, radiation, or chemical hazards. Latvia aims to strengthen its civil defense in the face of Russia's aggression in Ukraine. "Everyone must assume their responsibility, their contribution, so that we, as a society, as a country, and as individuals, know how to behave in a crisis situation," says Defense Minister Andris Spruds. It is essential to inform the public about what to do in hour X.
00:54 Zelensky: Russia Fires Approximately 3,500 Rockets at Civilian Targets Each MonthAccording to Ukrainian President Zelensky, Russia fires around 3,500 rockets at civilian targets and Ukrainian infrastructure each month. In an interview with Italian television channel Sky TG24, Zelensky states that these rockets are exclusively used against civilian targets to force people to evacuate cities and villages, paving the way for Russian occupation. Russia is lying if it claims to target only military objectives.
23:23 Human Rights Activists: Russia Renames Captured ChildrenUkrainian human rights activists accuse Russia of indoctrinating children taken from Ukraine. The head of the charity organization Save Ukraine, Mykola Kuleba, claims that children are forbidden from speaking Ukrainian or displaying any Ukrainian symbols. Children are strictly disciplined if they decline to sing the Russian anthem. Russian authorities have changed the names and dates of birth of the children. Save Ukraine has retrieved 373 children, Kuleba says, adding that many of them showed signs of trauma. According to the Ukrainian government, over 20,000 children have been taken since the conflict began. Russia denies the kidnapping allegations and claims to have safely evacuated children from the conflict zone.

A residential area was struck. Two men and a woman were killed, and five civilians were injured, the investigators report.
21:46 Sunak Blasts Russia's Allies and SupportersBritish Prime Minister Rishi Sunak strongly criticizes Russia's supporters and allies. "They're siding with the aggressor - and the wrong side of history," Sunak supposedly said at the peace summit in Switzerland. "Those who support Russia by supplying weapons or components for these weapons should look at these summits today. They should look at Bucha, Mariupol, and Kharkiv and ponder their decision," Sunak added, referring to alleged Russian war crimes in Ukraine. "Putin has no interest in a genuine peace." Russian President Vladimir Putin is making counterfeit statements about his willingness to negotiate, Sunak further stated.
Peace Discussions: Russia's Presence Vital for Credible SettlementAKA Saudi Arabia reckons a credible peace deal calls for Russian input, as stated by their rep at the Swiss Ukraine summit.

Ongoing Attacks: Russian Forces Keep Hammering Tough Spots in UkraineDespite the international community's peace push for Ukraine, the Russian troops just can't seem to quit their aggressive posturing.
