Ukraine's President Zelensky asserts that Russia has not yet reached a stage where they are prepared for negotiations.

In the heart of Europe, events continue to unfold with significant implications for both Ukraine and the city of Hamm.

The ongoing war in Ukraine shows no signs of a quick resolution, as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy remains in office during martial law, according to the Ukrainian constitution. This means that his term has not expired, despite ongoing speculation.

Meanwhile, a major internet outage has caused disruptions in Hamm, a city in Germany. The cause of this outage is yet to be determined, but it has undoubtedly caused inconvenience for many residents.

In Hamm, there is also an upcoming election for the Integration Council. New postal voting documents have been made available, and news updates are readily available for those interested in staying informed. The unemployment rate in Hamm is currently at a high, not seen in a long time, which may impact the election results.

On a global scale, the need for a quick end to the war in Ukraine is emphasized worldwide. The international community is growing increasingly concerned about the ongoing conflict and its impact on the region and beyond.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has shown no willingness to engage in talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, as announced by Washington two weeks ago. Putin's behavior, according to Zelensky, includes making excuses not to engage in talks, which he has likened to a sport.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, however, has stated that Putin doubts Zelensky's legitimacy as President of Ukraine, due to his office during martial law and an allegedly expired term. It is important to note that the legitimacy of Zelensky's office during martial law is not recognized by this statement.

Putin has been continuously ruling since 2012, with constitutional amendments extending his terms in office. The Kremlin has only made excuses for not engaging in direct negotiations between the two presidents.

As the situation in Ukraine and Hamm continues to evolve, it is crucial to stay informed and support those affected by these events. For those in Hamm, the upcoming election for the Integration Council offers an opportunity to shape the future of their city.
