Ukraine’s president has hinted at the possibility of peace talks with Russia in a shift from his earlier refusal to negotiate with President Vladimir Putin.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged the international community to “force Russia into real peace talks” and listed his usual conditions for dialogue – the return of all of Ukraine’s occupied lands, compensation for damage caused by the war and the prosecution of war crimes.
