news of the day
Emmanuel Macron continues to play the diplomatic card by telephone.
The French president again spoke with Vladimir Putin for an hour on Sunday evening, for the second time that day.
He had previously spoken to US President Joe Biden, the Elysée announced.
The head of state had already discussed in the afternoon for nearly two hours with his Russian counterpart, as part of a series of discussions between heads of state to try to avoid an armed conflict in the east of Ukraine.
All these discussions led to a surprise announcement on Sunday evening: Vladimir Putin and Joe Biden agreed to meet at a summit, proposed by Emmanuel Macron.
The White House has, however, set a condition: “an invasion” of Ukraine must not take place until then.
The Elysee Palace also specified that the talks would subsequently be extended to "all stakeholders" in the crisis.
The Kremlin however showered these hopes on Monday, describing such a meeting as "premature".
The head of Russian diplomacy, Sergei Lavrov, nevertheless made it known that he would see his American counterpart Antony Blinken Thursday in Geneva.
sentence of the day
The peace process in the conflict in Ukraine has no prospects
The Minsk peace accords on the conflict between Ukraine and pro-Russian separatists have no prospect of implementation, President Vladimir Putin ruled on Monday, accusing Kiev of sabotaging them.
The number of the day
5.
This is the number of Ukrainian "saboteurs" that the Russian army claims to have killed.
The reason ?
Their presence in Russian territory, but also their attempt to cross the border with two military vehicles.
"During the fighting, five people belonging to a group of saboteurs and intelligence who violated the Russian border were eliminated," the army said, assuring that the incident took place in the Rostov region, near the locality of Mitiakinskaïa, early in the morning.
Information that Ukraine has formally denied.
"Not a single one of our servicemen crossed the border with the Russian Federation, and not a single one of them was killed today," a senior Ministry of Foreign Affairs official told reporters. Interior, Anton Gerashchenko.
The trend of the day
Summit or no summit, tensions between Ukraine and Russia do not really seem to be easing, and Western countries do not seem more convinced of a way out of the crisis.
This Monday afternoon, the White House, through the voice of its national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, even said that an invasion by Russia would seek to violently "crush" the Ukrainian people.
In the process, Ukraine called for an "immediate" meeting of the UN Security Council in the face of the threat of a Russian invasion.
“At the request of President Volodymyr Zelensky, I officially request immediate consultations with members of the UN Security Council on behalf of Article 6 of the Budapest Memoranda,” tweeted Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kouleba.
The request is based on a 1994 agreement guaranteeing the integrity and security of the former Soviet republic in exchange for giving up nuclear weapons inherited from the USSR.
Shortly after this announcement, the governor of the Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine announced that a civilian had lost his life after a separatist bombardment.
The victim, a man born in 1970, was killed in the village of Novolouganské, where the bombing also caused a cut in electricity and heating and damaged a gas pipeline, Governor Pavlo Kyrylenko said on Facebook.
A deadly bombardment that does not risk easing tensions.
