Usyk called Russians sick and incurable people

Usyk also reminded the foreign audience that the Russians are shelling civilians.

"The enemy says they are hitting military infrastructure - it's all a lie. I see where they are hitting. Every day we see where they hit - power plants, bridges, hospitals. This is terrorism, I can't call it anything else. It's hard every day, even today there were bombs flying. When I woke up at one o'clock in the morning, I woke up to explosions, and together with my daughter and wife we went to the bomb shelter," said Oleksandr Usyk.

Swiss Senate approves an amendment to the law allowing arms re-export 

This is reported on the website of the country's parliament.

The lower house of parliament supported this position with 22 votes. There were 17 votes against and 4 abstentions.

This parliamentary initiative regulates the re-export of Swiss weapons in general. As noted, for countries that adhere to Swiss values and purchase Swiss military materials, the validity of non-proliferation declarations will be limited to five years.

The transfer of military materials will be allowed to a country involved in a conflict if that country exercises its right to self-defence in accordance with public international law, does not violate human rights and does not use weapons against civilians.

The parliament noted that the proposal was not intended specifically for Ukraine, but that this issue could be studied during the next stage of drafting the bill.

We are gradually beginning to move forward not only in the Bakhmut sector but also in other areas. I hope that the Russian forces will not have time to regroup and the summer campaign will lead to the same results as last year in Kherson and Kharkiv regions," emphasised Prozapas.

According to the Ukrainian Armed Forces captain, there are tendencies on the battlefield for the Armed Forces of Ukraine to seize the initiative.

"I urge everyone to follow the official reports from the General Staff of Ukraine and keep quiet about the counteroffensive," emphasised Prozapas.
