 On Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky's Peace Offer, Putin Said 'I Will Thrash Them': Report

Roman Abramovich handed over a handwritten note from Ukraine's President to Putin.

Russian businessman Roman Abramovich, who is acting as Russia's unofficial envoy in talks with Ukraine, was told by President Vladimir Putin that he will "thrash" the Ukrainians, according to a report. The incident happened when Abramovich gave a handwritten note from Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky to Putin, according to British daily The Times.

“Tell him I will thrash them,” The Times said in an exclusive report. The article is behind a paywall, but as per the little details available, the note detailed Ukraine's conditions for ending the war.

Abramovich had accepted Ukraine's help in the negotiations to bring an end to the war which began on February 24. According to The Times, his plane took off from Istanbul to Moscow, where he met Putin and handed over the note to him, and then came back.

The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on Monday that Abramovich and Ukrainian peace negotiators suffered symptoms of suspected poisoning earlier this month after a meeting in Kyiv.

The WSJ report cited people aware of the developments.

However, Ukrainian officials poured cold water on the report. Asked about the suspected poisoning, Ukrainian negotiator Mykhailo Podolyak said, "There is a lot of speculation, various conspiracy theories." Rustem Umerov, another member of the negotiating team, urged people not to trust "unverified information".

An American official also ruled out the poisoning angle, saying that intelligence suggested an "environmental" reason for the sickening of Abramovich and the negotiators.

Abramovich and the Ukrainian negotiators are reported to be out of danger.

Meanwhile, the Kremlin has said that Abramovich played an early role in peace talks between Russia and Ukraine but the process is now in the hands of the two sides' negotiating teams. The two sides are meeting in Istanbul today for the first face-to-face peace talks in more than two weeks.

The West has imposed heavy sanctions on Abramovich and other Russian billionaires, companies and Russian officials, in an attempt to force Putin to withdraw from Ukraine.

Pegaxy's Latest Update And How It Affects My Plan To ROI

  Last March 28, Pegaxy Official announced their then-upcoming events that would start on March 30. There were 3 events: Stats-Based Racing and Genetic Breeding, Breeding Event, and Pega Burning Mechanics + Pega Level Up. At the time they announced this, they made it sound like it was something that would benefit the majority of the investors. They also said it was going to be big and things were going to get crazy, but we never expected that these events would shock us all. Stats-Based Racing and Genetic Breeding The first event was meant to allow the racers to race their Pegas based on their stats and to breed with specific genetic traits. Many of us were thrilled by the fact that our owned Pegas could have a better chance to increase their win rates based on the stats they have. In fact, many even bought new Pegas in the marketplace, thinking those were the Metas. At that time, we thought that the higher the total stats were, the better; however, after the first event was implem...

Warriors and Draymond Green

Warriors   Warriors   finally  put the  Grizzlies  away.  Thompson carried the day, making eight of his 14 3s and 11-of-22 shots overall. Curry was 4-for-17 at one point before hitting two dagger triples as the  Warriors   finally  put the  Grizzlies  away.  He's not the defender he used to be, putting far more emphasis on his offensive contributions.  Curry, meanwhile, simply cannot find his shot, save for a few box-score-saving runs. He was 6-for-17 from 3 on Friday, and he concluded the Memphis series at 32 percent from beyond the arc and 41 percent overall. This is by far the worst postseason shooting of his career on the heels of the worst regular-season shooting of his career.  The same goes for Thompson, who was terrific on Friday but has been forcing shots for a while now. It took an 11-for-22 showing in Game 6 for Thompson to finish the series above 40 percent from the field. He's not the defender he used to ...

NEAR API with Ruby on Rails: An update, A summary

  Previously one wrote about   NEAR API JS with Rails 7 . After first written, one made several edits to the article here and there to the point it's not smooth anymore. Reason is, it fails. Yeah... Let's talk a bit about its failure and what we did instead. (This includes some terminology that may be difficult to understand. Overall, one include a final section containing some terms, non-exhaustively, for explanation). "View Functions" on the Backend View Functions are functions that read some data from the contract. These methods are free: you don't have to pay gas fee when calling them. The  NEAR API Ruby Gem  contains just the function for this. As view functions can be called by anyone, even one whom don't have a wallet (hence no private keys required), it's safe to call it from the server-side. The built-in function makes it easier to call it from the server side and send (POST) the information back to the end user to view the information. In contras...
