Ukrzaliznytsia plans to index freight tariffs and introduce dynamic pricing for SV and first-class Intercity tickets due to a critical financial situation. The company incurred losses of UAH 7.2 billion over nine months and suffered over 800 enemy attacks on its infrastructure.

Serhiy Leshchenko explained that 'Flamingo' missiles are complex high-precision weapons with many components purchased abroad. They are used selectively for maximum results.

Serhiy Leshchenko stated that the blackout in Belgorod after the attack on the thermal power plant is only the beginning. He also hinted at long-range strikes on the territory of the Russian Federation, which will be a surprise.

Serhiy Leshchenko, advisor to the Head of the Presidential Office, commented on the statement by US Vice President J. D. Vance about the possible end of the war in six months. Leshchenko emphasized that without a ceasefire and stabilization at the front, it is impossible to predict timelines, as the situation is constantly changing.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated that Moscow would not agree to resolve issues of collective security without its participation. He called dialogue without Russia "a utopia and a path to nowhere."

Serhiy Leshchenko, advisor to the Head of the President's Office, stated that the meeting between Trump and Putin in Alaska would be symbolic. He emphasized that geostrategic decisions would not be made there.

The US administration combines pressure and diplomacy to force Putin into negotiations and end the war, setting a new 50-day deadline. Serhiy Leshchenko, advisor to the Office of the President, expressed surprise at the length of the term, as it should be shortening, not lengthening.

The Ukrainian government concluded 200 agreements worth over 13 billion euros at the Recovery Conference in Rome. The funds will be directed towards strengthening air defense, restoring infrastructure, housing, medicine, and supporting IDPs.

The Presidential Office commented on the possibility of enemy strikes during the visit of Donald Trump's special envoy: the experience Kellogg might undergo will be conveyed to the US President.

The EU is preparing the 18th package of sanctions against Russia, but its adoption will be difficult, the Presidential Office suggests. Some EU countries are defending the values of the "Russian world," which complicates consensus.

Ukraine will announce the composition of the negotiating group with Russia in a timely manner, so as not to give the Russian Federation unnecessary information reasons. The Russian delegation is represented by technical staff without independent opinion.

The Presidential Office explained that Putin is afraid of a personal meeting with Zelenskyy due to the possible arrival of Trump, who would force him to make promises that would destroy the idea of war.

Serhiy Leshchenko stated that Zelenskyy is going to Istanbul, but Putin is not. If Putin does not come, he will show weakness, and if he comes, he will be forced to invent fake arguments.

Serhiy Leshchenko stated that Putin is unlikely to agree to direct negotiations with Zelenskyy in Turkey. The President of Ukraine is ready for a meeting, but the Kremlin will avoid it.
