The situation in the power system
The situation in the Ukrainian energy system has improved due to the fact that it was possible to connect the nuclear unit of one of the nuclear power plants to the network after repair.
According to the Ministry of Energy, the planned repairs of the unit were completed three days ahead of schedule. They note that the nuclear power plant unit is already gaining power and will add 1000 MW to the energy system.
They plan to prepare several more units for repairs to ensure stable and uninterrupted operation during the heating season.

World Summit
US President Joe Biden should personally attend the Peace Summit in Switzerland, which will take place on June 15-16, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky emphasized.
According to the head of state, the Ukrainian side knows that the United States supports the Peace Summit, but it is unknown at what level. In his opinion, this is not a very strong solution.
Vladimir Zelensky noted that President Biden needs the Peace Summit and other leaders who take into account the US reaction. He believes Russian dictator Vladimir Putin will give a standing ovation if Biden is not at the meeting.
