Edited [Korrespondent] 22:30 An explosion occurred in Cherkasy on the evening of March 14, as a result of which, according to preliminary information, one person died. ![]() A police investigation team, explosives technicians, and a forensic laboratory are working at the scene. The circumstances of the explosion and the identity of the deceased are being established. 21.41 Belgian Prime Minister Bart de Wever called on member states to authorize the European Union to negotiate with Russia to conclude a peace agreement. "Since we are unable to scare Vladimir Putin by sending weapons to Ukraine, and we cannot strangle him economically without US support, there is only one method left: to make a deal," the politician said. According to the Belgian Prime Minister, "Russia can only be brought to its knees with 100% US support." But de Wever believes that the US is not completely on Ukraine's side, sometimes seeming closer to Russian ruler Vladimir Putin than to Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky. "Without a mandate for negotiations in Moscow, we are not at the negotiating table, where the Americans will push Ukraine to accept the agreement. And I can already say that this will be a bad deal for us," the Belgian Prime Minister said. 20.44 The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine responded to Iran's threats, calling them absurd. This was stated by the spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Heorhiy Tykhyi. "The Iranian regime has been supporting the murder of Ukrainians for years, directly providing the aggressor state with drones and technology for aggression against Ukraine. In this context, it is absurd when some representatives of this regime threaten Ukraine and also refer to the right to self-defense, enshrined in Article 51 of the UN Charter," he said. According to Tykhy, "it is the same as if a serial killer were to justify his crimes by referring to the Criminal Code." At the same time, the spokesman for the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry emphasized that the Iranian regime must be held responsible for crimes against its own people and other countries and peoples. 19.54 In the Kyiv region, the death toll from a massive nighttime Russian attack has risen to five people.
