Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on Moscow to commit to meaningful bilateral talks and stop its invasion of Ukraine, saying it would otherwise take Russia "several generations" to recover from its losses in the war.
Britain's foreign secretary Liz Truss accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of using talks with Ukraine as a “smokescreen” while he ramps up violence against the country. Truss said that “we don't see any serious withdrawal of Russian troops or any serious proposals on the table” and said Russia would resort to “worse and worse” violence as its military campaign falters in the face of fierce resistance from Ukraine.
Over the past 24 hours, Russian forces have fired at eight cities and villages in the eastern Donetsk region, using aviation, rockets and heavy artillery. Ukraine's National Police said on Saturday that at least 37 residential buildings and infrastructure facilities were damaged and dozens of civilians were killed or injured as a result of the attacks.
Russia said its hypersonic missiles had destroyed a large underground depot for missiles and aircraft ammunition in western Ukraine's Ivano-Frankivsk region. A spokesperson for the Ukrainian Air Force Command confirmed the attack. According to Russian officials, the Kinzhal hypersonic missile, carried by MiG-31 fighter jets, has a range of up to 2,000 km and flies at 10 times the speed of sound.
