Did you miss the latest events on the war in Ukraine? Do not panic, 20 Minutes takes stock for you every evening at 7:30 p.m. Who did what ? Who said what? Where are we ? The answer below.
The fact of the day
Moscow sees red after the Ukrainian strike on the headquarters of the Russian fleet in the Black Sea on Friday. Russian diplomacy assures that the attack “was planned in advance with the use of Western intelligence assets, NATO satellite equipment, reconnaissance aircraft”. It was “implemented at the request of the American and British intelligence services and in close coordination with them,” said Russian diplomatic spokesperson Maria Zakharova. London and Washington have so far not reacted to the accusations from Russian diplomacy.
Crimea, a Ukrainian region annexed by Moscow in 2014, is at the heart of the Russian military system in its offensive against Ukraine, both to supply the troops occupying southern Ukraine and to carry out strikes. kyiv, in the midst of a counter-offensive, is trying to bring the fight to this peninsula where it has increased missile and drone attacks in recent weeks.
The number of the day
59. This is the number of children evacuated by the Ukrainian authorities from several towns and villages close to the front line in the Zaporizhia region, the focal point of the counter-offensive. “We have accomplished the task established by the Ukrainian government” and “evacuated all the children with their families” from the localities of Gulyaipole, Preobrazhenka, Yegorivka, Stepnogirsk and Novopavlivka, Deputy Governor Yevgen Myronenko said on television.
Sentence of the day
It is clear that he is a Nazi. »
The Kremlin has called for the trial of a former Ukrainian soldier who fought with the Nazis but was honored last week in the Canadian Parliament. “The Canadian authorities are obliged to bring this criminal to justice or hand over to those who want to do justice,” declared the spokesperson for the Russian presidency, Dmitri Peskov. “The speaker of parliament [canadien] resigned and took this responsibility upon himself. But what about Parliament itself, which stood up and applauded this fascist? Reason demands a condemnation of Nazism (…) Otherwise it is a Parliament which has sullied itself,” he denounced. “We can only honor the memory of Ukrainian veterans who fought against fascism, including the grandfather of [Volodymyr] Zelensky,” he added.
During the Ukrainian leader’s visit to Ottawa last Friday, the Speaker of the Canadian House of Commons applauded Yaroslav Hunka, a 98-year-old Ukrainian accused of having fought in the SS during the Second World War, in parliament. .
Today’s trend
kyiv does not fiddle with the Russians. Ukraine will boycott European football competitions in which Russian teams will participate, the Ukrainian Federation (AUF) announced the day after UEFA’s decision to reinstate Russian teams under the age of 17 in its competitions. The AUF urges UEFA to “reconsider its decision”. It also asks other countries to “boycott possible matches involving Russian teams, if they are admitted”.
UEFA announced on Tuesday that it had decided, in agreement with the International Federation (Fifa), to reinstate the U-17 teams because “children must not be punished for acts for which the responsibility lies exclusively with adults”. The executive committee of the European body judged that it was “particularly regrettable that due to the persistence of the conflict, a generation of minor players was deprived of their right to compete in international football competitions”.
