President Vladimir Zelensky signed a decree implementing the decision of the National Security and Defense Council on the Maritime Security Strategy. Later the text of the Strategy appeared. The document states that Ukraine is a maritime state and resists large-scale armed aggression from the Russian Federation. It is important for Ukraine to continue control over the temporarily occupied territories, the sea coast, its own maritime spaces, as well as the restoration and security of sea routes.
In the village of Krynki, on the left bank of Kherson, 788 Ukrainian soldiers are missing from October 2023 to June 2024. Such data was published by Investigative.info.

The President of the European Council, Charles Michel, in response to a letter from Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban about his “peace mission,” said that no discussions about Ukraine can take place without Ukraine. The politician noted that Hungary’s presidency of the Council of the European Union does not play a role in the representation of the organization in the international arena and the country was not authorized by the European Council. He also rejected Orbán’s assertion that the EU is allegedly pursuing a “policy of war.” The President of the European Council noted that Russia is the aggressor, and Ukraine is the victim exercising the right of self-defense. Therefore, according to him, the direct path to peace is the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine.
The European Parliament also adopted a resolution condemning Orban’s visit to Russia with the so-called “peace mission” for Ukraine. The document states that the visit is a flagrant violation of EU agreements and the common foreign policy, especially the principle of sincere cooperation,” the document said. The EP emphasized that the Hungarian Prime Minister “is cannot claim to represent the EU by violating the EU’s common position, and believes that this violation should lead to consequences for Hungary.”
