MANILA, Philippines — The Ukrainian government hMANILA, Philippines — The Ukrainian government has been contacting President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. to arrange a call between him and President Volodymyr Zelensky to discuss the Philippines’ role in the Ukraine-Russia conflict but has not heard any response since June.

“We are requesting a phone call between the President of Ukraine and at that time, President-elect Marcos, but we haven’t gotten a reply from the presidential office yet,” said Denys Mykhailiuk, the Chargé d’affaires of the Ukraine Embassy in Malaysia.

In a press briefing with Philippine reporters, Mykhailiuk said they had contacted Marcos through the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) twice a month since June 2022.

“They will be discussing participation or cosponsoring on the Peace Formula, which is to be presented on the fields of the [United Nations] on [February 24, 2023], as well as bilateral agenda,” said Mykhailiuk.

According to the United Nations website, the Peace Formula was previously outlined by Zelensky in September, which is a plan to restore peace in Ukraine. Part of this plan is Russia’s punishment for committing an “illegal war.”

“The proposal is still standing,” the envoy said.

Marcos was still president-elect when Ukraine first contacted him, but Mykhailiuk said there had been informal follow-ups since then.

“I have contacts with the DFA, and I am asking our desk officer, for let’s say, twice a month, it’s not a formal wiring because they already have the formal one,” he said.

When asked why he thought the Philippine government had yet to respond, Mykhailiuk surmised that it was due to Marcos still being newly elected.

“My guess might be that they are forming the government and are preoccupied with their domestic agenda, and they also had the contact with main partners, so they have China and the United States, so we quite understand that,” he said.

“We expect that their position of the presidential administration to our situation, to our war, is already settled, and we hope that any time soon they will be ready for a phone call with the president and be also ready to establish some visit of Filipino governmental positions to Ukraine, or Ukrainians to Manila,” added Mykhailiuk.

During his presidential bid, Marcos said he believed there was no need to stand in the war between Russia and Ukraine.

Months after winning the elections and being sworn into office, however, Marcos said that the war between the two countries was “unacceptable.”

Mykhailiuk also said that plans to establish a Ukrainian embassy in the Philippines were stalled due to budget constraints, but they hope to achieve it this year.

When it came to establishing a Philippine embassy in Ukraine, however, “there was no direct inquiry from the Filipino side to establish an embassy in Kyiv”, said Mykhailiuk.

INQUIRER.net has reached out to the Malacañang and DFA for a comment but has yet to receive a response.

"I can play in any position," joked one of the fighters. - "The combat concept, applying tactics helps."
As reported, 3 Russian tanks engaged in combat with two Ukrainian tanks in Donbass. While a pair of armored vehicles distracted the enemy, a third tank crept up from the flank and hit a target 500 meters away.

You are the correct that the US and UK claim one thing and North Korea another, but the US reporting is not all linked to a NYT piece or an unnamed "US intelligence official"

Did the White House guy cite the NYT with the administration official source though? Cheney loved to do that in the olden days with interviews that were done on airforce 2.

what a country up there.

Defence Minister Anita Anand announces air defence system donation to Ukraine

quote:

Today, Defence Minister Anita Anand announced that Canada is purchasing a National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System (NASAMS) and associated munitions from the United States to donate to Ukraine. This high-priority donation is the first Canadian donation of an air defence system to Ukraine.

A NASAMS is a short to medium range ground-based air defence system that protects against drone, missile, and aircraft attack, with a high success rate. Canada’s NASAMS donation will help Ukraine strengthen its air defence systems against destructive air attacks on military sites, civilian critical infrastructure, and population centres.

This donation, valued at approximately $406 million, comes from the additional $500 million in military aid to Ukraine that Prime Minister Trudeau announced on November 14, 2022. The donation builds on Canada’s longstanding military support to Ukraine, including our training mission – Operation UNIFIER, donations of armoured vehicles, artillery, drone cameras, and winter clothing, and ongoing efforts by the Royal Canadian Air Force to transport Ukraine-bound military aid donated by Canada, Allies, and partners.

Canada remains committed to providing Ukraine with the military aid that it needs to defend itself from Russia’s illegal and unjustifiable attacks, including intensifying Russian air raids.
