Zelensky wants to meet Putin next week: “Hiding”
Ukraine proposes a new meeting with Russia next week to reach a ceasefire. Kidnapped children must be returned. Prisoners of war must be released. And the killing must stop.
- And the Russian side must stop hiding from making decisions, Zelensky says in a video clip.
He also reiterates the need for him and Vladimir Putin to meet.
- It is necessary to achieve a real peace that will last.
Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov claimed this weekend that Russia is also positive about increasing the pace of the talks, writes Ukrainian Pravda. The peace talks in May and June took place at a lower political level and ended without any major breakthrough.
Trump's USA Russia investigation
Gabbard threatens to prosecute for alleged 2016 conspiracy
In a new report, US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard claims that the Obama administration committed a "treasonous conspiracy" in the 2016 election. According to Trump loyalist Gabbard, "intelligence information was fabricated and politicized" to initiate the Russia investigation, damage Donald Trump and link the election victory to Russian influence.
The New York Times describes it as yet another attempt by the Trump administration to undermine the accepted conclusion. A number of bodies, including a Senate report produced by Republicans, have concluded that the Kremlin tried to benefit Trump.
Gabbard, for her part, claims that she has "overwhelming evidence" and threatens to prosecute several Obama associates. The material is now being handed over to the Justice Department.
Democrats dismiss the report as politically motivated. Mark Warner of the Senate Intelligence Committee says Gabbard is distorting the facts. One part of the investigation was about how electoral systems were being hacked, the other about how public opinion was being influenced.
– It’s apples and oranges. The Russians were not successful in manipulating our electoral infrastructure, and we have never claimed that.
