Ukrainian President's Statement

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky criticized Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, accusing him of blocking EU financial aid. He also reported a possible delay of trilateral negotiations with Russia and the US due to the Middle East situation. Meanwhile, Russia and Ukraine conducted a prisoner exchange.

Ukrainian boxer Alexander Usyk announced his plans to enter politics after two more years of boxing, stating his goal is the country's presidency. A poll shows he would receive more support than the current president.

After two years of positional warfare, Ukraine has for the first time retaken more territory than it has lost to Russia. Elon Musk's SpaceX, by blocking Russian use of Starlink terminals, is seen as a key factor in this significant shift on the battlefield.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed hope on Monday that the upcoming negotiations would proceed successfully, emphasizing the importance of reaching an agreement.
