Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has urged Western leaders to pressure Russia into peace using “all means” necessary.

Mr Zelensky has long said he will not negotiate with Russia directly until Moscow’s forces leave all Ukrainian territory, including Crimea.

His call, however, comes as Russia makes gains against Ukraine, with Kyiv suffering from a shortage of Western-supplied weapons.

    It’s just going to be Russia dictating terms at this point. Two years ago, there were actual talks happening where Ukraine was able to make demands of their own. Also, Russia said that they won’t negotiate with Zelensky because his term is expired, and they don’t see him as a legitimate legal entity now.

      Well that’s going to be interesting.

      My money is on Russia installing a leader that has their interests at heart.

        That seems like the most likely outcome. Russia will get a friendly regime in whatever is left of Ukraine.
