Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Tuesday renewed his offer to meet with Russian leader Vladimir Putin and negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine, but hopes of any progress were low as delegations from both governments prepared to hold a third round of direct talks.
Russian forces, meanwhile, pounded four Ukrainian cities in night-time attacks that officials said killed a child.
