Blocking of sanctions against the Russian Federation, Baiden's doubts and provocations in PMR: the main thing for the night of February 23

Focus gathered the main events that took place in the evening and night on February 22 in Ukraine and the world. The Russian Ambassador to the UK Andriy Kellin assured British journalists that the Russian Federation does not plan to use nuclear weapons in the war with Ukraine. "In this conflict - no.

We have a doctrine that clearly states when nuclear weapons can be used - in the case of nuclear attack on Russia or if the conventional attack is so serious that the existence of our state will be in danger," Kellin said. The United States President Joe Biden has not yet decided whether he would run for the second term in 2024. According to Politico, this is convinced by members of the US Democratic Party. Biden is expected to announce it in April this year.

However, people close to the President say that there are no rigid terms or formal procedures to decide on the date of launching an election campaign. The latest preparations were postponed due to Baiden's trip to Kiev. According to journalists, Baiden's silence is perceived as indecision, which has a negative effect on the atmosphere in the democratic party.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban threatened to block the 10th package of EU sanctions against the Russian Federation, unless four people were removed from the list of sub-persons. Budapest also opposes the expansion of sanctions to 12 months. As a compromise, which would organize Orbana, it is proposed to continue sanctions for nine months.

In the sidelines, high -ranking diplomats and officials of the European Union recognize that they are afraid of the summer of 2024, when Hungary is presented in the EU Council. During his speech at the summit, US President Joseph Biden noted that the United States was committed to the protection of every inch of NATO, and also expressed support for Ukraine. "We have provided to Ukraine critically important security systems and important support for millions of refugees.

We have helped Ukrainians access to major services. And together we will continue the continued support of Ukraine that will protect our freedom," the American leader said. For his part, NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg stated the need to "break the vicious circle of Russian aggression" and stressed that Western countries should give Ukraine everything it takes to win the war.
