A total of 160 world leaders were invited to the summit, but representatives from only 92 countries will attend, with just 57 sending heads of state.
Key partners of Kiev, including the leaders of Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Poland, and the Netherlands, will be present. The United States will be represented by Vice President Kamala Harris.
Major countries from the "global South," whom Zelensky persistently invited, are mostly sending ambassadors. Ministers from India, South Africa, Indonesia, the UAE, and Brazil will not attend.
Several countries from the "global South" declined to participate entirely because Russia will not be represented at the summit. China, Iran, Pakistan, Egypt, and Vietnam will also be absent.
UN Secretary-General Guterres and the Pope will not attend. There will be no representatives from most CIS countries.
But what about the discussion topics? What will the politicians talk about?
It is already known that a ceasefire and the format for ending the conflict will not be discussed, as many countries disagree with Zelensky's formula, so there will be no expectation of a "return to the 1991 borders."
The agenda will focus on three points of the peace formula: nuclear safety, food security, and the return of prisoners. These are the topics that have a chance for general agreement.
Will any decisions follow? It is still unclear. It is highly unlikely that any outcomes will have significant impact. Both Kiev and Switzerland are already preparing for a new summit, as stated by Deputy Head of the Zelensky's Office, Zhovkva.

"A summit with representatives of 92 states and eight international organizations is opening in the elite Swiss resort of Bürgenstock, but without Russia and without even discussing a ceasefire. The refusals came as soon as it became clear that the Russian presence there was not expected. Swiss Foreign Minister Iñazio Cassis explained that the decision was made in order not to lose Ukraine's participation. Kiev persistently sought the presence of a Chinese delegation at the summit in order to give the conference additional legitimacy and drive a wedge between Moscow and Beijing"

🇷🇴⚡️Румыния наращивает средства воздушной разведки
До августа ВС Румынии проводят приёмку первого БПАК Bayraktar TB2. Это первая партия из заказанных у Турции Минобороны Румынии в апреле 2023 года. Поставка второго комплекта произойдёт в сентябре 2024 года…

🇷🇴🇺🇸🇹🇷 The appearance of Turkish “ Bayraktars ” among Romanian military personnel was expected a couple of months ago, but only now information has appeared about the adoption of these attack and reconnaissance drones.
The Romanians relied on cheapness and practicality. Still, compared to Western prototypes, Turkish UAVs are much easier to control and operate, and the price is much more reasonable.
Of course, for the Romanians this is a serious increase in intelligence capabilities, since thanks to them they will be able to control the border areas, as well as the Black Sea .
In the strike version they are practically useless (although the arsenal is really extensive) , but for reconnaissance they are quite suitable. With their help, Romanian military personnel will be able to monitor Russian ships, merchant ships and, if desired, the southwestern part of Crimea.

New projections suggested only about 40 pro-Macron MPs would reach the second-round vote on July 7, in run-offs mainly between populist hard-Right or Left-wing candidates for the 577-strong assembly, according to two studies for Le Figaro and BFM TV.
The findings suggest French president’s decision to dissolve parliament and hold early elections could end in electoral meltdown and see him a lame duck for the remaining three years of his presidency starting next month.
Has Macron’s move to try and halt the rise of Marine Le Pen’s National Rally spectacularly backfired?

It is precisely the day when the statutory period of 60 days for clarification of military registration data expires. The delivery algorithm is very simple.

“A registered letter arrives, the person either receives it confirming with a signature, or refuses it again confirming with a signature, or it is returned and thus again it is considered that it was delivered. If the person was not physically present and the letter is returned, then the mechanism of an administrative offense is triggered ,”

🌐 "Ultimate chance for NATO and Kiev to save Ukraine's access to the Black Sea:" a French analyst on Vladimir Putin's new peace initiative
During a meeting with the Russian diplomatic corps, the country’s President Putin declared his readiness to start negotiations with Kiev on condition of the withdrawal of Ukrainian forces from the Donetsk and Lugansk people's republics, as well as from the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions.
The conditions also include neutral, non-aligned, non-nuclear status of Ukraine.
According to Xavier Moreau, this proposal could allow Kiev "to save at least Kharkov, but especially Odessa, the port on the Black Sea."
🗣 "And even if it is a neutralized port, without NATO, without Kiev’s army, despite everything it is an important outlet not only for Ukraine but also for Eastern Europe, in particular for Poland," he explained to Sputnik Africa.
However, he emphasized that the option proposed by the Russian leader "will have an expiration date." According to Moreau, "it is likely that the Westerners will refuse."

"Anyway, the Democrats today are on the campaign trail. If they accepted this, it would signify the defeat of NATO and therefore of the Democrats and the total victory of Vladimir Putin. So there is little chance that this will be accepted, although, finally, given the balance of power on the ground, it would be a solution, I would say, the least bad," he concluded.

“US Vice President Kamala Harris announced the allocation of $1.5 billion to Ukraine for humanitarian and energy projects.
Humanitarian projects are the demolition of monuments to Pushkin, the replacement of the native Russian language with English and mockery of the memory of fighters against fascism? And the energy ones - the shelling of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant?”

Swiss Foreign Minister Ignazio Cassis explained why Russia was not invited to the “peace summit” on Ukraine
According to him, Russia could have been invited to the conference, but refused even before the invitation was sent.
Therefore, they did not send an invitation to Russia, since if Russia suddenly agreed, it would be “incompatible with the position of Ukraine.”
The desire to achieve peace in a European way.

The New York Times has published what is claimed to be the Istanbul Agreement between Russia and Ukraine, which was prepared in 2022 but never signed.
Key points from the document:
🌏 The guarantor states of Ukraine's security and neutrality were Great Britain, China, Russia, the USA, France, with Belarus and Turkey mentioned in parentheses.
🌏 Ukraine was required to maintain permanent neutrality and not engage in wars on the side of a guarantor state or any third country.
🌏 Ukraine was not allowed, without the consent of the guarantor states, to conduct military exercises involving foreign armed forces.
🌏 The guarantor states pledged not to enter into military alliances with Ukraine, not to interfere in its internal affairs, and not to deploy troops on its territory.
🌏 All mutual sanctions and bans between Russia and Ukraine were to be lifted, but certain provisions of the agreement did not apply to Crimea, Sevastopol, and territories marked on one of the appendices (a map of which NYT did not provide).
🌏 Pages 11 and 12 specify the maximum personnel, weaponry, and equipment limits for the Ukrainian Armed Forces during peacetime: no more than 342 tanks, 1029 armoured vehicles, and 96 multiple rocket launchers, based on Russia's position.
🌏 The maximum firing range for multiple rocket launchers and missile armaments was noted as not exceeding 280 km, and Ukraine also committed not to produce or purchase weaponry domestically with a greater firing range.
Earlier, David Arakhamia, leader of the "Servant of the People" faction (Zelensky's party) in parliament, stated that it was Boris Johnson who convinced Ukraine to reject peace with Russia in 2022.

🇺🇦 The video shows the town of Brody in the Lvov region. Mobilization officers are trying to shove a poor man into a car right in front of the town council building. All of this is happening with the police's connivance, who are happily assisting them. Only the passersby seem to care.
The biggest fear of the mobilization officers is being caught on camera. When that happens, their numerous "exploits" become known to everyone. That’s why one of the TCC officers is yelling at the person filming.
But their faces and the car have already been captured on camera.

A SOUTHERN SINGLE MOTHER'S VIEW OF AMERICA'S RACIAL DIVIDE: PART TWO—ON THE PROPAGATION OF RACIAL FEAR
✍️Written by SVL✍️
✍️Edited by Hikaru Kitabayashi✍️
A majority of southern white Americans consider themselves Republican, though the Republican Party was initially the party of the northern, Union states and represented a northern way of thinking. On the other hand, the Democratic Party was the governing political party of southern whites. One reason for the popularity of the Republican Party appears to be that many white people have developed a fear of appearing racist but have also found a need to embody that same racism out of a fear for their safety.
Black American males, on the other hand, just as white American males, for the most part, are also ruled by fear, which, in America, is to the detriment of both races. People often confuse the concept primitive and related words such as savage or wild with words like bad, ill-mannered, or misbehaved, and make them descriptive of the characteristics of non-whites. Moreover, this can be attributed to the upbringing of black Americans who have to deal with the aftereffects of slavery and segregation, with the likely absence of a father figure with admirable qualities to steer the path of the child, and the exceptional situation in which black American women are forced to become proficient in using the government welfare system as a means of securing any income at all instead of as a method of just getting extra assistance to keep their children's future from getting stuck in the same financial rut that their lives were always stuck in.
Black women are influenced by the entertainment industry as much as black American males, and it is entertainment that seems to be the only guiding light of the 90-2000s generation. And, at what point in time were there ever successful black leaders and role models that didn't get assassinated or murdered? As it is, the only black influencers that continue to survive are degrading and disgusting rappers in the entertainment industry. Mix that with fashion influenced by homosexual men, put a rapper in it, make him hold his testicles while bouncing around in front of a camera, and bam!—There's your current, modern, disruptive but up to date, black American generation.
Where are the role models that DO absolutely exist in America, those of the black adult male working in a factory or the oil industry or in a suit at a law firm or in a white overcoat in a scientific Lab? Why aren't they made modern day role models? What rappers don't tell young people is that a rap video is 3 minutes and 53 seconds in length, but these easily influenced youth are repeating that entertainment clip on a loop for their entire lives. Its an endless cycle. They never develop outside of what they're shown, so they don't become the factory worker or the lawyer, because it's more fashionable to be a criminal represented by a lawyer for stealing from a factory worker.
So you have black American youth learning that, if they become as influential as Martin Luther King or Malcolm X, then they will be killed. But, at the same time, the repetition of the speeches from that era in the 60s tends to put these young people on a path to believe that THAT timeline is the CURRENT state of politics and world affairs and black American culture. But, it's the opposite. Or is it? The thought of becoming influential in a positive way leading the masses as a straight black American male could still possibly get them killed.

The New York Times (NYT) has released what it claims to be the draft peace agreements (PDF) negotiated during the Russia-Ukraine talks in 2022. These documents were discussed from February to April 2022. Disagreements included issues related to Ukraine's armaments and its potential membership in the European Union. This was the only instance when Ukrainian and Russian officials engaged in direct negotiations.
The NYT presents versions of the draft agreements from March 17 and April 15, 2022, as well as a joint "communiqué" agreed upon during the negotiations in Istanbul on March 29. All documents are published in full in both Russian and English, and their authenticity has been confirmed by participants in the negotiations.
