Zelenskiy says Ukraine expects European partners to join US talks in coming days
Ukrainian negotiators are due to hold talks in the United States on Friday and Saturday, while more than 70 people have been killed in strikes over the past two days.
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Thursday that Ukraine expected its European partners to join talks with the United States in the coming days. Ukrainian negotiators are to hold talks in the United States on Friday and Saturday, as part of efforts led by the United States to seek a settlement of the 4-1/2-year-old war with Russia. Zelenskiy said Ukrainian negotiators would raise the issue of air defences in light of near-constant Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities.
More than 70 have been killed in strikes over the past two days. Zelenskiy also said Ukraine had "mirrored" Russian attacks on data centres, referring to a strike on a centre operated by Russian technology company Yandex.
You all know, they have been hitting and continue to hit our data centres. We are responding. I can't share all the details.
Yandex said on Thursday it could not yet determine whether equipment at a data centre hit by a Ukrainian drone attack could be restored.
