On June 3, during a press briefing for the mass media the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Dmytro Kuleba, told about three ways in which Russia is trying to frustrate the Global Peace Summit.
Kuleba noted that Russia’s systematic work around the world to undermine the summit is an indicator of its exceptional importance.
The first way is discrediting of the Peace Summit through letters, public statements and closed meetings, in which Russia tries to convince countries of its insignificance.
The second includes attempts to convince individual countries not to participate in the summit at all.
The third way is to convince the countries that have confirmed their participation to come at the lowest possible level of representation.
Dmytro Kuleba emphasized that Russia is most actively trying to influence the countries of Asia, Africa and South America. According to him, the Ukrainian diplomacy works in all regions of the world and successfully counteracts the destructive activities of the Russian Federation.
Amendments to Ukraine’s enforcement proceedings legislation, initiated by the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, have entered into force. Among other measures, the reform provides for the automated lifting of attachments on bank accounts immediately after debts in enforcement proceedings have been fully settled. The main practical benefit for citizens is the complete elimination of the need to contact an enforcement officer in person and wait for paper decisions once the debt has been paid.
The 157th Separate Mechanized Brigade has received another batch of supplies as part of Rinat Akhmetov’s Steel Front military initiative. This time, the military received seven quad bikes and four mobile shower and bath units.
In my previous column, I wrote about social innovations in Ukraine. Those innovations are part of civic resilience and the democratization of security, which Europe is paying close attention to right now. The EU is trying to work out how to spread responsibility for its own security across society as a whole, rather than leaving it to institutions alone. It is looking for concrete ways to bring ordinary people into the work of defense and resistance.
Petro Poroshenko’s lawyers have appealed to the High Anti-Corruption Court demanding that NABU be obligated to register proceedings regarding the fact of exerting influence on the court and to recognize Petro Poroshenko as a victim in the case of the Deputy Head of the Office of the President, Iryna Mudra, due to her pressure on Supreme Court judges who were considering a lawsuit to overturn sanctions.
Internationally recognized brands and financial institutions should direct capital to Ukraine now, not waiting for the hostilities to end. This was emphasized by Rinat Akhmetov, president of FC Shakhtar, during a working visit to UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, where he met with UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin.
