Russia-Ukraine war

Ukraine says it is ready to negotiate, even though the White House and the Kremlin have secretly negotiated the peace plan behind the backs of Ukraine and the EU.

According to several US media outlets, this is a draft of 28 points on issues such as peace in Ukraine, security guarantees and security in Europe.

The President of Ukraine is asking his European partners for military assistance at a time when Russia is on the battlefield.

A summary, in two words, of what will be news in the Present today.

On the other hand, Zelensky said he doesn't know what Trump means when he says they're taking "significant steps" to end the conflict.

Spain will participate in the PURL (List of Priority Requirements for Ukraine) initiative, together with the "vast majority" of NATO countries, after Kiev called for "additional assistance" from its allies to "protect cities and energy infrastructure from Russian bombings."

The White House confirms the news after the Kremlin lowered expectations about the meeting. They argue it needs "serious preparation." On the other hand, Russia has also ruled out a ceasefire in Ukraine, saying it would serve to rearm Ukraine. 

According to the European Union's High Representative for Foreign Policy, Kaja Kallas, Ukraine is "the victim of this conflict" and "it is not right to put pressure on them."

Zelenski wants to strengthen his defense with long-range weapons, and Putin says relations with Washington will deteriorate.

Russia launched more than 460 drones last night, 60 of which hit several locations, including 32 missiles of various kinds, including 14 ballistic and 2 hypersonic.

Russia has launched drone and missile attacks throughout Ukraine on Saturday night, from east to west, and has hit the south-east city of Zaporiyia, where at least one person has been killed, and the western Leonpolis region, where at least four people have died and part of the city has been left without electricity.

"Brutal attacks, intentional terror directed against ordinary cities: nearly 500 drones and more than 40 missiles, including Kinzhal missiles," Zelenski has reported on social media.

He has also warned of the dangers of "the most destructive arms race in human history."

Attempts to disturb navigation devices near Kaliningrad (Russian enclave between Poland, Lithuania and the Baltic Sea) are common.

Investigators have reported indiscriminate attacks on civilians in Ukraine.

At the meeting of the Interparliamentary Committee in the Congress of Deputies, in the presence of the Socialist Members, Senators and MEPs, Sanchez expressed his unease at the way in which Russia was expelled after the invasion of Ukraine, because the same is not done now with Israel.

This is a new attack by Moscow on Ukrainian infrastructure near the border with Romania. Bucharest has denounced the drone flight as an "attack" and reaffirmed its commitment to the defence of the national territory.

Likewise, the US president has urged allies to impose 100% tariffs on China to take advantage of the Asian country's influence on Russia and end the war.
