Ukraine President Volodmyr Zelensky issued a dire warning to Russia and its citizens, as the 20th day of the war between the two countries drew to an end.
In his latest address to the nation and the watching world, Volodymyr Zelensky spoke directly to 'citizens of Russia', the 'officials of the Russian Federation' and people working in the Russian media 'propaganda system'. He told them the war would end in their 'shame and poverty' with 'years of isolation' - and that "what happens next depends on your actions".
President Zelensky also said that at "at least" one more Russian general had been killed. To date, at 11 Russian Federation commaders - including three Major Generals - have been killed in the fighting. And he said Russia is now sounding 'more realistic' in peace talks.
