It seems that the reports that Russia‘s military operation in Ukraine will end today will be confirmed, as the Russian Army is just a “breath” away from Kiev and it is only a matter of hours before it is taken over.

At the same time, the adviser to the Ukrainian president, Mikhail Podolyak, announces that Kiev is ready to surrender and all he asks is that security guarantees be provided.

What does he mean by security guarantees? “Russia wants to kill V. Zelensky“, he said, which means that what Kiev is interested in at the moment is the safety of the Ukrainian president and his associates.

“Kiev is ready for talks with Russia on a neutral status, provided that security guarantees are provided,” said Mikhail Podolyak,

“Ukraine has always been leaving and is now leaving a room for negotiations. Even now, when Russia has launched a full-scale invasion.This war must stop. These hostilities must stop,” Podolyak said, according to the UNIAN news agency in Kiev.

Earlier, President Volodymyr Zelensky said that the dialogue between Russia and Ukraine to end the hostilities would start sooner or later.

Moscow: more than 150 Ukrainian soldiers surrendered their weapons and surrendered voluntarily

“During the hostilities, more than 150 soldiers. . . they laid down their arms and surrendered. In the area of the island of Zmiinyi, 82 Ukrainian soldiers laid down their weapons and voluntarily surrendered to a unit of the Russian armed forces,” he said.

“At the present time“, he stresses, “they are being asked to sign a refusal to participate in hostilities” and “will soon return to their families“.

At the same time, Russia‘s armed forces deactivated 118 military installations in Ukraine during the special operation.

“During a special military operation, the Russian armed forces disabled 118 military facilities of the military infrastructure of Ukraine. Among them: 11 military airfields, 13 command posts and communication centres of the Ukrainian forces, fourteen S-300 and Osa anti-aircraft missile systems, 36 radar stations,” Konashenkov said.

The West is preparing to deport V. Zelenski

France will be able to provide assistance to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky if his security is threatened, French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Ledrian said today, Friday.

“Zelenski‘s safety is central to what is happening and we can help him if necessary,” the French diplomatic chief said.

France will take all necessary measures, he added, when asked if by help he meant that he would be removed from Ukraine. It should be recalled that the British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, had also announced yesterday that he would grant asylum to Zelenski.
