Bhubaneswar: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has said that it would not be possible to negotiate an end to the war in his country without meeting Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin. On day 27 of the conflict, Ukraine made a fresh appeal to Russia on Tuesday to allow humanitarian supplies into the besieged southern city of Mariupol and to let civilians leave.
On the other hand, the Kremlin today said it would like ongoing talks between Russia and Ukraine to be more “active and substantive”, as fighting between the forces of the two countries continued.
