Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenski criticised the latest Russian attacks on civilian infrastructure in the Krzywy Horn. "Nothing changes in the case of Russia, and it is now terrorizing life in Ukraine" - he wrote in the communicator Telegram.

Zelenski warned that Russia was aiming to transform part of Europe into "an island of danger and abuse of human life". The Ukrainian leader stressed that in fact in fresh days there has not been a single night without Russian attacks on Ukraine.

U.S. Policy return

Donald Trump after a Thursday telephone conversation with Vladimir Putin fundamentally changed his position on the sale of Tomahawk Ukraine rockets. The American president argued that the U.S. needed these missiles and they couldn't exhaust their supplies.

According to Wp.pl advisor Putin claims that the Russian leader tried to convince Trump of the advantage on the battlefield during the conversation. Trump described the conversation as "productive" and announced a gathering with Putin in Budapest within 2 weeks.

Congress and Europe response

According to onet.pl, Republicans in legislature led by John Thune called for sanctions only a fewer hours before Trump's return. The change of position of president occurred just before Friday's gathering with Zelenski in the White House.

The Italian press interprets the selection of Budapest as a "police for the EU" and a gift for Putin in the form of a European diplomatic scene, according to banker.pl. Viktor Orbán will host the Trump-Putin meeting, calling it "a large news for peace-loving people".

Historic importance of the site

Bankier.pl draws attention to historical irony - Budapest was the place where the safety warrant memorandum for Ukraine was signed in 1994. Polsatnews.pl emphasizes that this is another effort by Orbán to mediate in the Ukrainian conflict.

Zelenski earlier that day estimated that Moscow wanted to resume dialog with the US as shortly as she heard about Tomahawk missiles for Kiev. "Russia will gotta end the war erstwhile it is incapable to proceed it" - stressed the Ukrainian President.
