A draft declaration was published on the second day of the Ukrainian Peace Conference attended by 100 countries and organizations, in the town of Bürgenstock, located in Switzerland’s Nidwalden canton. The declaration mainly focused on the release of prisoners of war, the full control of nuclear power plants and facilities, including Zaporizhia, being given to Ukraine, and a ceasefire to be made in ports on the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov.
A Russian missile and drone attack on Ukraine’s capital Kiev killed 14 people, including a 62-year-old US citizen, and injured 60 others. Ukrainian officials said 27 locations in the city were hit overnight, damaging apartments, schools, and key infrastructure. Fires broke out across the capital. President Zelenskyy condemned the assault as “pure terrorism,” stating Russia launched over 440 drones and 32 missiles nationwide. One person also died in Odessa. Ukraine called on the US and Europe for a stronger response.
