This week starts with news about the conflict in Ukraine that is marked by the G7 summit, which brings together the leaders of the seven largest economies in the world in Germany.

On the ground, in Donbass, the Russian advance on the city of Lysychansk continues, with Russia guaranteeing that the city is almost surrounded and Ukraine confirming attacks only on the southern front.

But one of the most relevant news recorded this morning was Russia’s entry into default, after failing to pay interest on its foreign debt, something that had not happened since the Russian Revolution of 1917.

What happened during the early morning and early morning?

• Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will address the leaders of the world’s seven largest economies this morning at 8 am Lisbon time during the G7 meeting. Specifically, he will ask for more weapons, namely an anti-aircraft defense system.
• The United States will have already purchased this system and will announce delivery to Ukraine later this week, a source told CNN.
• In Donbass, Russian forces continue the offensive towards the city of Lysychansk, after the Ukrainian army toppled Severodonetsk last Saturday. There are conflicting reports from Russia and Ukraine about how close Russian troops are.
• Russia has not paid the interest on its foreign debt, which means that it has officially entered into flaw for the first time since the Russian Revolution of 1917.
• More than 100 bodies were found in a house in the city of Mariupol, according to information provided by an aide to the city’s Ukrainian mayor.
