US Ambassador in Budapest David Pressman would like to drag Hungary into the conflict in Ukraine, but the country still belongs to the"peace camp", Hungarian foreign minister Peter Szijjártó said.

"I would like to stress that an ambassador is an ambassador, not a viceroy. At least I send ambassadors to other countries to improve bilateral relations, not to make them think they are smarter than the local people. And it would be good if there was mutual respect on the other side as well," Sijjártó said at a press conference.

The Hungarian foreign minister also stressed that his country belongs to the global majority that would like a peaceful settlement in Ukraine.

The Biden administration is pulling together a $500 million weapons package for Taiwan, using for the first time a fast-track authority that it has relied on to speed arms to Ukraine, people familiar with the matter said.

The package will involve sending existing stockpiles of US weapons or support equipment to Taiwan under what’s known as a Presidential Drawdown Authority, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing private deliberations. The equipment to be in the package wasn’t immediately known.

🇺🇦💰Zelensky today received as guests management of BlackRock

Official statement:

"The details of the creation of an investment fund to restore Ukraine's economy were discussed at a meeting with the management of the largest asset management company in the world, BlackRock.

The main goal of the fund's creation is to attract private and public capital for implementing large-scale business projects in Ukraine.

This will be a strong signal of strengthening the investment climate. It is important not only for our people, our society, but also for business, entrepreneurs abroad. Today is a historic moment because, since the very first days of independence, we have not had such huge investment cases in Ukraine. We are proud that we can initiate such a process."

Kadyrov: "... if older brother Prigozhin and Wagner leave, then the General Staff will lose an experienced combat unit, and his younger brother Kadyrov and "Akhmat" will come to his place in Artyomovsk. If the scenario is still like this, then our fighters are already ready advance and occupy the city. It is a matter of several hours"
