‘No change’ in Russia’s attitude on war shown by deadly attacks, Zelensky says

Ukrainian President Zelensky stated that recent Russian attacks indicate no change in Moscow's stance on the war, despite talks of resuming negotiations. Following discussions between Russian President Putin and US envoy Witkoff, Russia launched missile strikes across Ukraine, resulting in casualties and damage to civilian areas. Zelensky criticized the targeting of civilians and highlighted the need for advanced air defense systems from allies. He expressed skepticism about the potential for peace talks, given Russia's demands and ongoing military actions. The situation remains tense as NATO allows Ukraine to procure weapons, while concerns grow over the US's alignment with Moscow.
