Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has suspended all foreign trips due to the dire situation faced by his depleted troops during Russia’s ongoing offensive. However, there is a glimmer of hope for Kyiv: Ukrainian forces have managed to “partially push back” Russian troops from the border town of Vovchansk in the northeastern Kharkiv region.

Despite active combat clashes, they successfully repelled 18 Russian assaults. Last week, almost 8,000 people fled Kharkiv when Russian forces launched a significant border incursion. Moscow’s forces are also attempting to expand their gains in the eastern Donetsk region.

Zelenskyy remains cautiously optimistic, stating that the situation is under control. The US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, reassured Ukraine of American support with a $2 billion arms deal. Russia’s strategy aims to stretch Ukraine’s army, which faces shortages of ammunition and manpower along the 620-mile frontline.

President Joe Biden’s 2024 campaign has challenged Republican nominee Donald Trump to two debates ahead of the November election. Unlike the traditional system, these debates will be hosted in a television studio rather than in front of a live audience.

Here are the key details:

1. First Debate (Late June):
   • Proposed date: Late June, after Trump’s New York criminal trial concludes and after President Biden returns from the G7 Summit.
   • Format: Hosted by any broadcast organization that previously hosted a 2016 GOP primary debate (in which Trump participated) and a Democratic primary debate in 2020 (in which Biden participated).
   • Rules: Firm time limits for answers, alternate turns to speak, and active microphones only during a candidate’s turn.
2. Second Debate (Early September):
   • Proposed date: Early September, at the start of the fall campaign season.
   • Purpose: To influence early voting without disrupting the critical late September and October period.
   • Trump’s response: He agrees to the proposed times and suggests more than two debates.

CNN will host the first debate on June 27 at 9 p.m. ET in its Atlanta studios. This showdown marks the first major face-off between the two candidates ahead of the 2024 election and their respective party conventions.
