Ukraine’s government says Russian airstrikes on the Black Sea city of Odesa have wounded eight people, destroying stocks of food and damaging Ukraine’s main grain port. The strikes also damaged several exhibitions at the Odesa Fine Arts Museum. On Monday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky ruled out conducting elections in 2024, saying they should remain suspended while Ukraine is under martial law.

President Volodymyr Zelensky: “We all understand that now, in wartime, when there are many challenges, it is absolutely irresponsible to engage in topics related to an election in such a frivolous manner. … I believe that elections are not appropriate at this time.”

Meanwhile, NBC News reports U.S. and European officials have begun quietly talking to Ukraine’s government about possible peace negotiations with Russia to end the war — and what Ukraine might need to give up in order to reach a deal.
