What’s happening in Ukraine now
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday renewed his plea for talks with his Russian counterpart, taking to US television to say negotiations were the only way to “end this war.”
He stressed that he and President Vladimir Putin were the only principals able to thrash out a deal to stop the fighting, now in its fourth week.
But he signaled he would lay down red lines against ceding Ukrainian territory, including two pro-Moscow breakaway regions.
“I’m ready for negotiations with him,” Zelensky told CNN show “Fareed Zakaria GPS.”
“I think without negotiations we cannot end this war,” the Ukrainian leader said through a translator.
Meanwhile, Russia is using its futuristic hypersonic missiles to bombard Ukraine stepping into the bloodier phase of the war.
