Politicians, activists and diplomats accuse Ukraine’s leader of favouring loyalists and using wartime powers against critics

U.S. President Donald Trump repeatedly said during his campaign he would be able to end the war between Russia and Ukraine “in 24 hours” upon taking office.

During a meeting of the ruling Servant of the People faction on 16 July, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy introduced the members of the new Cabinet of Ministers (Ukrainian government) to MPs from the faction.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy considered at least three candidates for the position of the defence minister: Ihor Klymenko, Minister of Internal Affairs; Mykhailo Fedorov, Deputy Prime Minister for Innovation and Minister of Digital Transformation;

The White House confirmed that Trump and Zelenskyy discussed whether Ukraine would be able to strike Moscow and St. Petersburg with U.S.-supplied weapons.

Zelenskyy's choice of a young economist well-known in Washington reflects the importance of repairing relations with Trump after a disastrous White House visit in February.

The price of "yes" has now plummeted to $0.04 from $0.19, giving an implied probability of outcome at just 4%. The "yes" voters are striking back, claiming that Zelenskyy did indeed wear a suit at the NATO summit on June 24 and that there could be foul play by UMA validators to swing the decision.

Today's Russian airstrike on Dobropillia in the Donetsk region is simply a horrific, stupid act of Russian terror. Russian attacks have no military purpose whatsoever, according to the evening address of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
