Ukraine updates: Zelenskyy confirms end of US missile ban

Every life destroyed by Russia is a big tragedy,

said Internal Affairs Minister Ihor Klymenko

Children, as some of the most vulnerable groups in any society, enjoy special protection under international humanitarian law,

said Amnesty's Ukraine expert Patrick Thompson

These guys, Biden's administration, is trying to escalate the situation to the maximum while they still have power and are still in office,

Butina told Reuters news agency

Russia must show willingness to negotiate with Ukraine—with the aim of achieving a just and lasting peace,

Scholz said

In my view it would not be a good idea if there were talks between the American and Russian presidents and the leader of an important European country was not also doing so,

Scholz said on Sunday, defending the call

Now there may be other conversations, other calls. Just a lot of words,

Zelensky said in his evening address

No one will stop Putin with phone calls,

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said in a post to X, formerly Twitter, on Sunday

The conversation was very detailed, but contributed to a recognition that little has changed in the Russian president's views of the war—and that's not good news,

Scholz told reporters, according to Reuters

The attack last night [Saturday], one of the biggest in this war, has proved that telephone diplomacy cannot replace real support from the whole West for Ukraine,

he added

I strongly condemn Russia’s massive air strikes on power infrastructure across Ukraine. Weaponising winter to freeze a nation into submission is cruel and unacceptable. Moldova stands with Ukraine,

the Moldovan president tweeted

Russia launched one of the largest air attacks: drones and missiles against peaceful cities, sleeping civilians, critical infrastructure. This is war criminal Putin’s true response to all those who called and visited him recently. We need peace through strength, not appeasement,

Sybiha said

We understand all the current challenges and we know what to do. And we want to make it clear: there will be no ‘Minsk-3’; we need real peace,

he said, referring to the peace agreement signed in 2015 which granted self-governance to certain areas of Donbas
