Kyiv šC Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy insisted Sunday that a meeting with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin remained ¡°the most effective way forward¡± as the two sides exchange prisoners and the country celebrated Independence Day.
Kyiv¡¯s general said that Ukrainian troops had recaptured three villages in its Donetsk region that had fallen under Russian control. And Ukraine launched drone strikes on Russia, triggering a fire at a nuclear power plant.
After a push by U.S. President Donald Trump to broker a Ukraine-Russia summit, hopes for peace dimmed when Russia on Friday ruled out any immediate Putin-Zelenskyy meeting.
