Internet reports that Ukraine President Zelensky said Russia's extreme demands mean it is meaningless to continue low-level talks aimed at bringing about an end to the war. Zelensky called Russia's peace conditions an "ultimatum" and said he was still willing to meet directly with President Putin. Zelensky has put pressure on Putin in recent days and launched two bold attacks on Russian targets, causing the Kremlin an embarrassing setback. In a video conference, Russian President Vladimir Putin publicly questioned the significance of peace talks with Ukraine, accusing top Kiev leaders of ordering deadly terrorist attacks on bridges in Russia. Putin said the attack on the Bryansk Bridge and another attack in Kursk were clearly targeted at civilians and proved that the Kiev government was "degenerating into a terrorist organization and its supporters are becoming accomplices to terrorists." "The current regime in Kiev does not need peace at all," Putin said."What is there to talk about?" "How can we negotiate with people who rely on terrorism?"
