Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that Ukraine is not showing urgency to resolve the conflict peacefully, warning that Russia would achieve its goals by force if diplomatic efforts fail. This comes after a large Russian drone and missile attack on Kyiv, which Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described as a response to peace efforts, asserting Moscow's lack of intent to end the war. The statements precede a planned meeting between Zelenskyy and former US President Donald Trump to discuss potential peace proposals and security guarantees.
