Zelensky hints Ukraine, Russia peace agreement more ‘realistic’ - Zelensky urged his beleaguered compatriots to fight on against Russia's vastly larger military, even as he suggested the conflict would end in a negotiated settlement.
The United States will unveil a new round of security assistance to Ukraine Wednesday, as Western leaders faced mounting pressure to stop Russia’s bombardment of civilians and peace talks made halting progress.
Kyiv was subjected to a fresh round of bombardment overnight, with columns of smoke rising high into the morning sky. “Meetings continue,” he added. “As I am told, positions during the talks now sound more realistic. But we still need time, so the decisions are made in the interest of Ukraine.” “They have found that their ground operations are not succeeding very well and where they are making gains they are at massive costs that are not sustainable,” Mick Ryan, a retired Australian major general, told AFP.
Putin accused Kyiv of “not showing a serious commitment to finding mutually acceptable solutions” according to the Kremlin’s account of a call with EU Council leader Charles Michel.
