'Fight for your existence,' Zelensky tells Putin in scathing open letter | Russia-Ukraine war news

विवरण

Will Zelensky’s open letter to Putin demanding face-to-face talks achieve anything? Today, Adelie and Dom look at how Ukraine continues embarrassing Russia during its three-day International Economic Forum, as Zelensky publishes an open letter to Vladimir Putin where he points out Russia’s weaknesses. He again asks the Russian president for a face-to-face meeting to bring the war to an end. It comes in the week that Ukrainian forces hit an oil terminal just outside St Petersburg and conducted strikes on a Russian patrol ship. Then, we discuss China’s increasing involvement enabling the occupation in the occupied territories and how the Ukrainian resistance may have contributed to Ukraine’s successful mid-range campaign.
