U.K., France, Germany back direct Ukraine-Russia talks
Leaders of the UK, France, and Germany have backed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's call for direct ceasefire talks between Russia and Ukraine, with active U.S. and European participation. Zelenskyy proposed a face-to-face meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, emphasizing that international borders must not be changed by force. However, Putin has ruled out meeting Zelenskyy and vowed to pursue war goals. Ukraine is also seeking more ammunition deliveries from its Western allies amidst ongoing Russian strikes, which recently hit a nuclear storage facility near the Chernobyl disaster site.
