«All of Europe is threatened by Russiathe stakes are very high,” he said Biden at a press conference in Paris with his French colleague Macron, during his first state visit.

Meanwhile, Kiev he also asks his allies for a further effort. The spotlight is on G7 of the leaders in Italy next week, in which Volodymyr Zelensky will also participate. His hope is that the Westerners convince themselves to drain resources from the Russians using their frozen assets, and not just profits. The members of the G7 and the EU have been discussing it for some time and work is underway towards an agreement at least at a general level to be formalized at the leaders’ summit scheduled in Puglia on 13-15 June: Washington is pushing in this directionbut Europeans have reservations of a technical-legal nature and political expediency (for example, the fear of discouraging future investments by other large world economies). Hence the appeal from the Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, a few days before the Big 7 summit: «We understand the concerns of our partners, but we believe that there are all the international legal bases to use not only the profits but also the assets themselves in the interests of Ukraine. International law defines them quite clearly.”

Kyiv: There are over 67,000 women in the Armed Forces. 19,000 are workers and others are soldiers
More than 67,000 women currently serve in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and most of them are military personnel: Deputy Defense Minister Nataliia Kalmykova said this on the Small Talk TV program, quoted by Ukrinform. “Currently, we have more than 67,000 women in the Armed Forces, of which 19,000 are workers and others are military personnel,” Kalkmykova said. The presence of women in the army has been growing since 2014 and since the start of the war on February 24, 2022 this trend has accelerated, despite the fact that mobilization does not apply to women in the country. Kalmykova also noted that today women are increasingly choosing professions in the army that are not traditionally considered feminine, but which show their desire to fight at the front. “In 2018, the legislation was changed and women gained the right to hold positions in the Armed Forces of Ukraine,” the deputy minister said. “At the same time, unfortunately, we still have a problem with the promotion of women. We are looking for ways to solve this problem so that women who want to build a career in the Armed Forces can have that opportunity.”
