Photo: (AP Photo/Vadim GhirdaZelensky hinted at possible negotiations on Ukraine's neutrality. The Russians say that the "first phase" of the "military operation" in Ukraine has been "successfully" completed. Ukraine could be divided like Korea. The tragedy in Mariupol, in which several tens of thousands of people are still trapped, continues
President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Ukraine could negotiate with Russia on neutral status and an obligation not to have nuclear weapons on its territory, but not until Russian troops withdraw.
A new round of peace talks is expected in Turkey.
Putin must not stay in power
US President Joe Biden once again did not stick to the script in Warsaw, saying "for God's sake, that man (Putin) cannot stay in power" and thus put the White House in trouble. Foreign Affairs Minister Anthony Blinken then had to explain that the US has no intention of encouraging or participating in any kind of coup in Russia and that Biden was actually addressing the Russians.
Previously, Biden had failed to say in front of the cameras that Putin "is a war criminal", so this was followed by an explanation that this was the personal position of the president, not the official position of the USA. The official qualification of the Russian president as a war criminal would preclude any future talks between Biden and Putin, which at some point will probably be necessary.
Phase one "successfully" completed
Moscow announced that during the "special military operation" 67 Ukrainian military targets were destroyed and the first phase of the "special military operation" in Ukraine was "successfully completed", and that Russian forces will be concentrated in the north and east of the country.
The self-proclaimed people's republics of Luhansk and Donetsk, whose independence Moscow recognized, are considering holding a referendum on joining the Russian Federation, following the example of Crimea.
The stock exchange in Moscow has reopened.
Partition of Ukraine
In Donbass, Russian units obviously want to occupy all major Ukrainian cities, but do not engage in combat in populated areas.
The Ukrainian Security Service believes that Russia wants to divide Ukraine into two parts, just as Korea was once divided into North and South.
Number of Russian generals killed
Western media are bidding on how many Russian generals have died so far. Five could be identified so far. It is certain that Russian high-ranking officers are in the front lines.
Walking among the corpses
In the Austrian daily "Standard", journalist Nadezhda Suhorukova, who managed to escape from Mariupol, describes how she walked with her dog among the ruins and corpses. When her grandmother died and she asked the police what to do, they recommended that she put her remains on the balcony.
Several tens of thousands of people are still trapped in the completely destroyed Mariupol. The Russians, the Ukrainian government claims, are not allowing humanitarian aid convoys to enter the city.
Part of the whining population from this port city was the only evacuation route open to Russia.
Online classes in Kiev
In Kyiv, online classes begin in all schools. The city took care of the functioning of the network. Contact between teachers and students will also represent mutual psychological support.
During this time, air raid sirens are heard, explosions are heard here and there from a distance, and cultural monuments are protected with sandbags.
Berlin Philharmonic Solidarity Concert
German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier spoke at a solidarity concert in favor of refugees from Ukraine. The ambassador of Ukraine in Germany demonstratively refused to attend the event because the Russian pianist Yevgeny Kissin performed with the Berlin Philharmonic as a soloist.
Mine in the Black Sea
CNN reports that Turkish fishermen have found a mine that has broken off off Odessa and is floating uncontrollably in Turkish waters, temporarily halting the passage of cargo ships.
Over fifty modern Russian warships are stationed in the Black Sea, but without nuclear missiles.
Navigating "Novaya Gazeta"
The editor-in-chief of the "Novaya Gazeta" newspaper, Dmitry Muratov, probably the only independent newspaper still published in Russia, put up for auction his Nobel Peace Prize, which he received last year. The newspaper was founded by the former journalists of "Komsomolskaya Pravda" who Gorbachev bought the first 20 computers from his Nobel Peace Prize. They do not report on the war in Ukraine itself, so as not to be banned on the basis of restrictive media laws. Instead of the forbidden word "war" they write an asterisk.
Fund for Digitization of Ukrainian Cultural Treasures
A fund for the digitization of cultural treasures of Ukraine was established on the domain Saving Ukrainian cultural heritage onine. One of the initiators is Sebastijan Majstoroviฤ from Vienna, whose father was born in Bosnia. He stated that his father told him about the shelling of the Sarajevo City Hall, the Jewish museum that housed the famous Sarajevo Haggadah and other historical and cultural treasures.
