In the wake of the latest drone attacks on Moscow, Ukrainian President Zelensky said it is “absolutely fair” to attack targets within Russia.
Meanwhile, on the back of a meeting with African leaders in St Petersburg over the weekend, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that he would be willing to entertain cease-fire discussions with Ukraine, but not as long as the country’s forces are “on the offensive”.
“The Ukrainian army is on the offensive, they are attacking, they are implementing a large-scale strategic offensive operation,” Putin“We did not reject them… In order for this process to begin, there needs to be agreement on both sides,” Putin said of potential peace talks. The Russian leader received numerous calls from African delegations to bring an end to the war, which threatens to exacerbate ongoing food shortages throughout much of Africa.
Yet, it is unclear as to what the talks could potentially accomplish given that Russia has so far not been invited. Vladimir Putin said Russia "reserves the right" to deploy cluster bombs if Ukraine uses the weapons supplied by Joe Biden.
