Armenian News - NEWS.am presents the daily digest of top news as of 09.03.22

TALKS ON UKRAINE

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he is ready to stop the war.

"There is a need to sit at the negotiating table. Sincere, substantive negotiations in the interests of the people, not outdated murderous ambitions," he added.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy earlier made a statement, which shows that Kyiv has softened its stance on Russia's demands for a ceasefire and that Zelenskyy is even ready to discuss Crimea and Donbass issues with Moscow.

In an interview with American ABC News, Zelenskyy said that “Ukraine is ready to hold a dialogue with Russia on security guarantees, on the future of the occupied territories of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, Crimea, but is not ready to capitulate.”

Zelenskyy also sent a message to NATO that if they continue not to provide the expected support to him, he can sit down at the negotiating table with Putin and make compromises.

He added that Ukraine is ready for any guarantee from NATO, Turkey and neighboring countries, including Russia.

Analysts believe that Zelenskyy is thus preparing grounds for finding solutions to the conflict.

Russian FM Sergey Lavrov may meet Thursday with his Ukrainian counterpart Dmitry Kuleba in Turkey. It will be the first high-ranking meeting between the countries since the conflict has escalated.

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan expressed hope that a possible meeting would lead to the establishment of a ceasefire in Ukraine.

DOCUMENTS

Russian authorities have several times said they started a military operation in Ukraine to rescue Donbass residents.

And today, the Russian Ministry of Defense published the leaked secret order of the commander of the National Guard of Ukraine dated January 22, 2022, on the offensive against the Donbass planned in March of this year.

The general noted that the document contains the original signatures of the officials responsible for the fulfillment of the tasks of the command of the National Guard of Ukraine.

According to him, the order described in detail “the plan for preparing one of the strike groups for offensive operations in the zone of the so-called “Joint Forces Operation” in Donbass.”

GAS IMPORTS AND SANCTIONS

The US President Joe Biden said the US is imposing a ban on imports of Russian oil and gas.

"Today, I am announcing the United States is targeting the main artery of Russia's economy," the president said.

Biden noted that a ban on Russian oil, natural gas and coal imports to the United States would have its price, but lawmakers are united in their action.

Western countries, especially European nations that rely on Russian oil and gas for a large share of their energy needs, have hesitated amid fears a ban would cut them off from much-needed supplies and send prices skyrocketing.

The world is continuing to punish Russia over their military operation in Ukraine in what they call to be an ‘invasion.’

McDonald's opened in Russia as the Soviet Union fell, and coffeehouse chain Starbucks will temporarily close stores, while Pepsi will stop selling its soft drink brands and Coca-Cola is halting business in the country.
