Zelensky condemns Russia’s ‘brutal’ strikes on Ukraine, Moscow claims advances in Kursk region

President Volodymyr Zelensky on Saturday condemned Russia’s “brutal” new strikes on Ukraine, warning that Moscow is “not thinking about how to end the war”, but said his country remains fully committed to constructive talks with the US next week. Russia, meanwhile, said it had recaptured three more villages seized by Ukrainian forces in the Kursk region last August.
