In Ukraine, at least six people were killed Tuesday as Russia’s military continued a barrage of drone and missile attacks on critical infrastructure. Ukrainian officials have called the recent strikes the largest aerial assault since Russia’s invasion in 2022. Among the dead are four people who were buried under the rubble of a hotel flattened by a Russian missile in the city of Kryvyi Rih.
On Tuesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he hoped to present President Joe Biden with a plan for victory next month when he visits the United States for the U.N. General Assembly. Zelensky said he’d also share the proposal with Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. But Zelensky ruled out any immediate ceasefire with Russia.
President Volodymyr Zelensky: “There can be no compromises with Putin. Dialogue today is, in principle, empty and meaningless, because he does not want to end the war diplomatically. He does not want it. He pretends to be ready for a diplomatic way, but under the condition of giving him 30% of our land.”
