The Kalush Orchestra won the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) in Turin, President Volodymyr Zelenskyj showed determination to fulfill the obligations as host country. "Next year Ukraine will host Eurovision!" Zelenskyy wrote on Telegram that night. Selenskyj also referred to the band's appeal to the ESC to save the port city of Mariupol, which was besieged by Russian troops. "We are doing everything so that one day Ukraine's Mariupol will welcome Eurovision participants and guests. Free, peaceful, rebuilt!" he wrote.
In an interview, Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba expressed skepticism about a possible ceasefire with Russia. "There's nothing bad about a ceasefire if it's the first step towards a solution where Ukrainian territory is liberated," Kuleba told Bild TV. "However, we will not reconcile the fact that there is a partial separation of territory. We are ready for diplomacy, but we will not allow diplomacy to simply prolong our suffering and simply postpone the next phase of the war," said Kuleba. He has called on the people of Germany to consider the consequences of the sanctionsto take against Russia. "Sometimes it's better to help someone else and endure a short period of deprivation rather than sitting at home watching TV and doing nothing, just allowing the problem to eventually knock on your door," Kuleba said.

A large convoy of cars and vans carrying Mariupol refugees has arrived safely in the Ukrainian-controlled city of Zaporizhia. The people had managed to leave Mariupol on their own and get to Berdyansk, some 80 kilometers to the west. From there they were taken to safety in the rescue vehicles 200 kilometers away in Zaporizhia. An aide to the Mariupol mayor had previously said the convoy included between 500 and 1,000 cars, making it the largest evacuation operation in the city since the Russians invaded on February 24.

The Russian military suffers from a "constantly high degree of attrition" , according to the British Ministry of Defense in its daily situation assessment. Russia lost about a third of its ground troops in the attack on Ukraine. At the same time, it has not been able to achieve any notable territorial gains in the past four weeks. "Russia's Donbass offensive has lost momentum and is well behind schedule," the ministry said on Twitter. The armed forces suffered from persistently low morale and diminished combat effectiveness.
