French authorities say this morning's massive power outage in Cannes and surrounding areas was caused by a deliberate act of sabotage. According to Grasse prosecutor Damien Savarzeix, three of the four pillars of a high-voltage pylon were sawn off, describing it as a “malicious act.” The police have opened a criminal investigation, and the prefect of Alpes-Maritimes confirmed that “all means are being mobilized” to identify and apprehend those responsible.

Spoločné vyhlásenie lídrov Francúzska, Nemecka, Poľska, Spojeného kráľovstva a Ukrajiny po stretnutí v Kyjeve: Lídri sa zhodli, že od pondelka 12. mája by malo platiť úplné a bezpodmienečné prímerie v trvaní najmenej 30 dní. Bezpodmienečné prímerie z definície nemôže byť podmienené žiadnymi podmienkami. Ak by Rusko takéto podmienky stanovilo, mohlo by to byť vnímané len ako pokus o predĺženie vojny a podkopanie diplomacie. Požadovali, aby prímerie bolo komplexné: vo vzduchu, na mori a na súši. Zdôraznili, že si to bude vyžadovať účinné monitorovanie, ktoré by sa dalo úspešne implementovať v úzkej koordinácii so Spojenými štátmi. Zhodli sa, že prímerie by malo trvať najmenej 30 dní, aby sa vytvoril priestor pre diplomaciu.

Minister zahraničných vecí Ukrajiny: Po stretnutí Koalície ochotných v Kyjeve malo všetkých päť lídrov @ZelenskyyUa @EmmanuelMacron @bundeskanzler @donaldtusk @Keir_Starmer plodný telefonát s @POTUS zameraný na mierové úsilie. Ukrajina a všetci spojenci sú pripravení na úplné bezpodmienečné prímerie na pevnine, vo vzduchu a na mori po dobu najmenej 30 dní, ktoré začne platiť už od pondelka. Ak Rusko bude súhlasiť a bude zabezpečené účinné monitorovanie, trvalé prímerie a opatrenia na budovanie dôvery môžu vydláždiť cestu k mierovým rokovaniam.

Macron: Spravodlivý a trvalý mier začína úplným a bezpodmienečným prímerím. To je návrh, ktorý presadzujeme so Spojenými štátmi. Ukrajina ho prijala 11. marca. Rusko však otáľa, kladie si predbežné podmienky, naťahuje čas a pokračuje vo svojej inváznej vojne. Ak Moskva bude naďalej brániť, zvýšime tlak – spoločne, ako Európania a v úzkej koordinácii so Spojenými štátmi. Vítame výzvu prezidenta Trumpa, aby sme sa týmto smerom posunuli vpred.
