Reuters. As U.S. and Russian officials discussed a narrow proposal for a ceasefire at sea on Monday (March 24) in the hope it could lead to wider peace talks, Ukraine's president said a movement was needed towards security and peace.
Volodymyr Zelenskiy added that progress in the talks in Saudi Arabia, where a Ukrainian delegation was present on the sidelines, was necessary for, "all those in the world who seek stability in international relations."
Zelenskiy also said that a rescue operation was continuing in the city of Sumy after a Russian missile strike damaged a school and a hospital, wounding nearly 90 people, including 17 children.
The talks, which focused among other issues on trying to reach a Black Sea maritime ceasefire deal, were portrayed by Washington as a step in President Donald Trump's effort to end the three-year-old war.
