Ukraine’s President Zelensky says he’s prepared to discuss a commitment for Ukraine not to seek NATO membership from Russia
The leader says this will come in exchange for a cease-fire, the withdrawal of Russian troops and a guarantee of Ukraine’s security.
Meanwhile, U.S. President Joe Biden says Vladimir Putin is strongly considering deploying chemical weapons in his invasion of neighbouring Ukraine.
Biden says Moscow is leaning on false claims that Kyiv is storing its own biological and chemical weapons setting up new false flags as a pretext to using its own.
It comes as the White House delivers its strongest indication yet that Russia is exploring the use of cyber-attacks potentially targeting critical infrastructure.
The Biden administration is pledging to “use every tool to deter, disrupt, and respond to cyberattacks” but warns the Federal Government “can’t defend against this threat alone”.
The United Nations warns the rush to fossil fuels as a result of the war in Ukraine is not the answer, with fears this could threaten our current work towards climate targets
Putin’s invasion of Russia’s neighbour has seen a dramatic rise in the prices of coal, oil and gas. Countries are working quickly to find Russian replacements.
But the U.N. Secretary General says short-term fixes could “close the window” on the Paris climate goals and have devastating impacts on our environment.
He is also calling on major nations like China to fully phase out coal by 2040.
