Russia claims new gains; Zelenskyy says ‘committed’ to dialogue with US

Al Jazeera  

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said his country is “fully committed” to having constructive talks with United States representatives in Saudi Arabia, as Russia announced new gains both inside Ukrainian and Russian territory. Ukraine has not yet commented on Russia’s claim to have captured Novenke, which analysts say could bring Russian troops closer to blocking a major Ukrainian supply route. And we are doing our best to ensure that Ukraine’s front-line needs are met.” Since taking office in January, Trump has upended the US’s wartime policies, engaging directly with Russia while cutting off military aid and intelligence sharing for Ukraine. Tuesday’s talks between US and Ukrainian officials – the first official meeting since a disastrous Oval Office encounter between Zelenskuy and Trump later last month – are expected to focus on a bilateral minerals deal and how to end the fighting.
