Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said Russia's president is afraid of what an upcoming international peace summit could achieve. Ukraine's leader said the June summit would "not allow Putin to lie anymore", saying no one in the world wants war except what he called the Russian aggressor. "The world is capable of forcing Russia into peace and into compliance with international security norms. Russia has nothing to oppose the world majority," he said. Zelenskyy chided leaders of Central Asian states for so far not agreeing to attend. The Peace Summit is a format that will not allow Putin to lie anymore. ...

Weeks of Russian strikes on Ukraine's power grid have forced leaders of the war-ravaged country to institute nationwide rolling blackouts. However, there are warnings shortages could worsen without the right defences for Ukraine, especially as demand spikes in late summer and freezing winters. Russian airstrikes targeting the grid since March have brought blackouts back to Kyiv, which hadn’t experienced them since the first year of the war. An strike in April damaged the Ukrainian capital's largest thermal power plant, while a massive attack on 8 May hit power generation and transmission facil...

In the two years since Russia launched its unprovoked and illegal invasion of Ukraine, the vigorous international support that erupted in response has begun to wane. The recent spectacle of horse-trading at the US Congress on a new $61-billion funding package, together with emerging divergences of opinion in Europe, indicates that competing priorities are leading to a slow dilution of commitments.

Lawmakers will now head back to their native countries to prepare for the elections in June when voters will choose the 720 members of the next legislature.
