Ukraine’s leader has today denounced Russia’s escalation of attacks on crowded cities as a blatant terror campaign. His comments came as US president Joe Biden warned that if the Russian leader didn’t “pay a price” for the invasion, the aggression would not stop with one country.
“Nobody will forgive. Nobody will forget,” Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky vowed after Tuesday’s bloodshed on the central square in Kharkiv, the country’s second-largest city, and the deadly bombing of a TV tower in the capital. He called the attack on the square “frank, undisguised terror” and a war crime.
Meanwhile, the Kremlin said a Russian delegation will be ready on Wednesday evening to resume peace talks with Ukrainian officials. Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that “in the second half of the day, closer to evening, our delegation will be in place to await Ukrainian negotiators”.
