Ik denk dat het wel meevalt. Dankzij die oorlog en bijbehorende energieprijzen zijn wij hier eindelijk stappen gaan maken om van het gas af te komen, die 600.000 dode Russen stoten geen CO2 meer uit en op de compleet vermijnde gebieden kunnen straks mooie CO2-compenserende bossen groeien.

It would make sense to hold second Peace Summit in one of Global South states, Zelenskyy aide says
Presidential chief-of-staff Andriy Yermak stated the need to prepare a joint plan based on the Peace Formula

The venue for the second Peace Summit has not yet been decided, but Ukraine expects that the event will take place in one of the countries of the Global South, Andriy Yermak, the head of the President's Office, announced at the Ukraine 2024. Independence forum.

"We want, and it would be right, for the second Peace Summit to take place, it would be symbolic, in one of the countries of the Global South. To say that today this place is determined – no, because what is important is the content and readiness of the joint plan, over how we work," said Yermak.

The head of Zelenskyy's office noted that this plan will be ready soon. And it is important to do everything so that the majority of countries support it, Yermak added.

At the same time, he said that the first Peace Summit demonstrated that more than 100 countries support President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's Peace Formula and believe that it is the basis for a joint plan.

Yermak also mentioned Zelenskyy's talks with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

"During Modi's last meeting and visit, he said absolutely clearly that India will not support any plan or proposal that would compromise Ukraine's territorial integrity. It is very important to hear this from a BRICS member country," Yermak said.

On June 20, 2024, Yermak announced that preparations for the second Peace Summit are ongoing, and it is already known about Russia's plans to disrupt the event.

On the same day, Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba announced that the second Summit could be held in one of the countries of the Global South.

On July 10, Bloomberg reported that Ukraine wants to convene a second summit with the participation of Russia before the presidential elections in the USA where the voting will take place in November.

Russia warns the United States of the risks of World War Three
Russia said the West was playing with fire by considering allowing Ukraine to strike deep into Russia with Western missiles and cautioned the United States on Tuesday that World War Three would not be confined to Europe.

Ukraine attacked Russia's western Kursk region on Aug. 6 and has carved out a slice of territory in the biggest foreign attack on Russia since World War Two. President Vladimir Putin said there would be a worthy response from Russia to the attack.

Sergei Lavrov, who has served as Putin's foreign minister for more than 20 years, said that the West was seeking to escalate the Ukraine war and was "asking for trouble" by considering Ukrainian requests to loosen curbs on using foreign-supplied weapons.

Ukrainian troops seized about 1,300 square kilometers and 100 settlements in the Kursk sector and captured 594 Russian soldiers.

Oleksandr Syrskyi, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, stated this.

“As of today, we continue to make progress. As of today, we have taken control of 1,294 square kilometers of territory and 100 settlements located on this territory. We have also significantly replenished the exchange fund. Ukrainian troops have captured 594 servicemen of the Russian Armed Forces in this sector so far,” Syrskyi reported.

He noted that the start of the operation was dictated by the intention to stop the constant shelling of the Sumy region from the territory of the Kursk region.

By early August, Russia had concentrated a significant number of its troops in the border area and was planning an offensive. Given this, it was decided to act proactively and create a security zone, launching its own offensive on August 6.
