Office of the President of Ukraine

Presidential advisor Mykhailo Podoliak, a participant in Ukraine's negotiations with Russia's delegation, does not believe that the Belarusian army will join Russian invading forces in their war against Ukraine.

The Office of the President of Ukraine believes that the Russian command could not have been unaware of the threat that a large-scale tank attack on the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant posed to all of Europe.

During their second round of talks, the Russian and Ukrainian sides have reached an understanding on the joint provision of humanitarian corridors for the evacuation of civilians from the sites of the fiercest fighting.

The Kremlin's alleged plan to make the fugitive former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych the new "leader of Ukraine" is an illustration of the total lack of understanding of the real situation and attitudes in Ukraine, according to Zelenskyy's office.

The Ukrainian president's office said that yesterday's European Parliament decision on Ukraine lacked the bold political signposts that all EU institutions and member states should take into account when granting Ukraine the status of a candidate for membership.

The President's Office urged Ukrainians to pay for purchases with bank cards if possible, not cash, as it is currently difficult to transport cash around the country.
