The president said he was"not sure" Moscow has indeed changed its objectives, which, so far, he said had resulted in"strategic failure". But his army has made little progress on capturing key cities, and it has hit hospitals, residential buildings and schools in increasingly deadly attacks on civilians.
"As far as we can conclude, the ball is now on the Polish side," Kuleba said in written comments to AFP after the meeting.In a video address, Zelensky reiterated a call for planes while urging allies to supply Ukraine with more weapons. On the frontlines, Russia's far-bigger military continued to combat determined Ukrainian defenders who are using Western-supplied weapons - from near the capital Kyiv to Kharkiv, the Donbas region and the devastated southern port city of Mariupol.
A humanitarian convoy leaving the devastated southern port of Mariupol - including ambulances carrying wounded children - arrived in Zaporizhzhia after being held up at Russian checkpoints for two days, a Ukrainian official said. Artillery attacks in the city of Brovary, east of Kyiv, cost three lives, regional officials said in a statement, and a 19th century Orthodox church was destroyed.
"Enemy sabotage groups in Kyiv region are still attempting to penetrate the capital," the Ukrainian General Staff said.
