The MV Hondius, affected by a hantavirus outbreak, arrived at the Port of Rotterdam for disinfection, and its crew members will enter quarantine. Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Europe should choose a preferred negotiator for eventual peace talks with Russia, after discussions with European Council president Antonio Costa. Zelenskyy said Europe must be involved in negotiations with a strong voice and presence, and that it is necessary to determine who will represent Europe specifically. The EU lacks a single obvious figurehead for difficult talks with Moscow, and Putin’s suggestion of Gerhard Schroder was rejected due to links with Moscow. Ukraine launched retaliatory strikes over the weekend, killing at least four and hitting strategic locations including in Moscow, with Zelenskyy calling the responses justified.
"Meanwhile, Ukraine launched retaliatory strikes against Russia over the weekend, killing at least four, as it hit a number of strategic locations, including in Moscow. Our responses to Russia's prolongation of the war and attacks on our cities and communities are entirely justified, Zelenskyy said, adding that the strikes on Moscow showed Kyiv was clearly telling the Russians: their state must end its war."
