There are no peace talks and no end in sight to the deadliest conflict in Europe since World War 2, which Moscow describes as a “special military operation” and Ukraine and its allies call an unprovoked act of aggression. On the ground in Ukraine, the Black Sea port of Odesa on Monday resumed operations that had been suspended after Russia used Iranian-made drones on Saturday to hit two energy facilities. Power is slowly being restored to some 1.5-million people, officials said.
Elsewhere, Russian forces carried out more than 60 attacks from rocket salvo systems targeting the civilian infrastructure in Kherson, the southern city liberated by Ukrainian forces last month, and Ukrainian troops based there, the General Staff said. Separately, Germany’s Chancellor Otto Scholz will hold an online meeting with other G7 leaders on Monday about the situation in Ukraine that Zelensky is also expected to address. Scholz is set to give a news conference afterwards at 1630 GMT.
