❗️Fedorov is being pushed into the wrong things, says Zelenskyy
«I have proposed to him, on four separate occasions, various ways in which he could continue to work as part of the team for our country. I don’t usually meet with people four times to offer them a job, as I believe that’s simply unproductive. In this case, I did so because of our long-standing and good relationship. Mykhailo turned down all four offers. Well, that’s his choice.»
«Elections during a war could “tear the country apart”»

🇺🇦 Fedorov is being pushed into the wrong things, — Zelensky.
“I offered him 4 different formats of working in a team for our state. Usually I don’t meet with people 4 times to offer them a job, because I think it’s unconstructive. In this case, I did it, given our good and long-standing relationship. Mykhailo refused all 4 offers. Well, that’s his choice.”

#World I Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned Ukraine of retaliatory strikes against its key economic infrastructure, saying Kyiv had “opened Pandora’s box” by targeting Russian economic facilities.
Putin’s remarks, published on Saturday, came as Ukraine has intensified drone attacks on Russian economic assets, including oil refineries and warehouses operated by online retailers. Kyiv has said such infrastructure supports Moscow’s war effort.
Russia has also stepped up attacks on Ukraine’s economic infrastructure, including facilities linked to grain exports through the Black Sea. The strikes have raised concerns over Ukraine’s ability to maintain agricultural exports.
Putin, however, said the disruption would not trigger a global food shortage, arguing that Russia could compensate for any reduction in Ukrainian supplies.
