The Ukrainian president said his country's defense against the Russian invasion is at a “turning point” and again pressed the U.S. for more help, hours after the Kremlin's forces reneged on a pledge to scale back their operations.
There seemed little faith that Russia and Ukraine will resolve the conflict soon, particularly after the Russian military's about-face and its most recent attacks.
“At night they didn’t decrease, but vice versa increased the intensity of military action,” Lomako said. Diplomatic talks between Russia and Ukraine are underway in nearby Turkey.

Zelenskyy also said he had recalled Ukraine’s ambassadors to Georgia and Morocco, suggesting they had not done enough to persuade those countries to support Ukraine and punish Russia for the invasion. Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said the military also targeted fuel depots in two towns in central Ukraine with air-launched long-range cruise missiles. Russian forces hit a Ukrainian special forces headquarters in the southern Mykolaiv region, he said, and two ammunition depots in the Donetsk region, in the Donbas.
