news of the day

Volodymyr Zelensky does not let go of his desire to enter the European Union.

The Ukrainian president again called for not leaving his country in a "grey zone", "so tempting for the Russian state", while EU leaders must decide by the end of June whether to grant him the official EU candidate status.

“Why, if polls show that 71% of Europeans see Ukraine as part of the European family, are there still political skeptics reluctant to allow us to join the European Union?

“, launched the Ukrainian president, very applauded.

sentence of the day

“Since 2015, we have observed that the so-called judicial system of these self-proclaimed republics does not meet the essential guarantees of a fair trial (…).

Such trials against prisoners of war constitute a war crime.

Ravina Shamdasani, spokesperson for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, expressed the organization's concern and disapproval after pro-Russian separatist authorities sentenced foreign fighters to death having fought alongside the Ukrainians.

Several European leaders have also expressed their “dismay” after these trials.

The number of the day

19.

This is the price, in billions of rubles, of the first road bridge linking China to Russia, including 14 to complete the Russian part.

This is equivalent to 300 million euros.

One kilometer long, it is made up of only two traffic lanes.

According to Russian media, 630 trucks, 164 buses and 68 light vehicles will be able to use this freight-only bridge every day.

It connects the cities of Heihe (Heilongjiang province) and Blagoveshchensk (Russian Far East) passing over the Amur River.

For the population of these two cities of around 200,000, a cross-border cable car is under construction and is due to be completed in 2023.

The trend of the day

Behind the scenes, the States are discussing the repatriation of foreigners sentenced to death (two English and a Moroccan) by the courts of the pro-Russian separatists.

Exchanges have already taken place after the capture of Azovstal between kyiv and Moscow, mainly concerning the wounded.

But the case of the convicted volunteers is much more thorny: if they cannot in theory be judged for their only participation in the combats, and must be treated correctly according to the Geneva convention, their trial allows the Russian forces to send a political message .

In Paris, an arrival of Emmanuel Macron begins to take shape.

The Elysée indicated that the president would go to Romania on Tuesday to meet French troops, then to Moldova on Wednesday.

But the date of a visit to Ukraine has not been fixed, and will only take place at a time when it will be "useful to President Zelensky".
