‘Kyiv Will Not Accept….’ Zelensky BLASTS Russia’s ‘Peace Memorandum’ | Russia-Ukraine War Latest [Video]

‘Kyiv Will Not Accept….’ Zelensky BLASTS Russia’s ‘Peace Memorandum’ | Russia-Ukraine War Latest

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has exposed Russia’s latest so-called “peace memorandum” as an outright ultimatum, stating Moscow demanded Ukraine recognize its occupation of Crimea and other regions, fully withdraw troops, and accept neutrality. The second round of Istanbul talks yielded humanitarian gains, like POW swaps, but no ceasefire. Zelensky vowed not to discuss sovereignty or concede territory. While Ukraine offered prisoner exchanges and EU/NATO alignment, Russia refused compromise. The U.S. remains frustrated with Moscow’s hardline stance amid ongoing war escalation. #Zelensky #RussiaUkraineWar #PeaceTalks #Putin #RussiaUltimatum #UkraineTerritories #Ceasefire #Crimea #Donetsk #Luhansk #Kherson #Zaporizhzhia #Kyiv #IstanbulTalks #RussianAggression #UkrainianSovereignty #EU #NATO #PrisonerSwap #Trump Also Read Russia Unleashes Record Overnight Drone Attack On Ukraine Amid Peace Talks :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-unleashes-record-overnight-drone-attack-on-ukraine-amid-peace-talks-4176255.html?ref=DMDesc This NATO Member Country Can Provide India Battle-Tested Unmanned Weapons, Tech :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/this-nato-member-country-can-provide-india-battle-tested-unmanned-weapons-tech-4175213.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Proposes Allowing Ukraine and Russia to Fight Before Seeking Peace :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-ukraine-russia-fight-for-a-while-011-4173761.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.336~

Russia’s Merciless Missile Strikes Kyiv & Odesa–Hospital Hit, Dozens Wounded in Early‑Morning Horror

In the early hours of June 10, Russian forces unleashed a devastating barrage of ballistic missiles and attack drones on Kyiv and Odesa. Explosions ripped through Shevchenkivskyi and Obolonskyi districts, with cars and school grounds damaged, while air defenses scrambled to intercept incoming threats. Two men were killed and at least twelve civilians wounded—including shock victims—and a maternity hospital in Odesa sustained significant damage. Kyiv’s mayor and emergency services race against time amidst new waves of drones, urging residents to remain in shelters as Ukraine’s defenders minimize further tragedy. #KyivUnderAttack #OdesaStrike #RussiaUkraineWar #MissileBarrage #DroneAttack #UkraineDefenders #MaternityHospital #WarUpdate #BreakingNews #AirDefense Also Read This NATO Member Country Can Provide India Battle-Tested Unmanned Weapons, Tech :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/this-nato-member-country-can-provide-india-battle-tested-unmanned-weapons-tech-4175213.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Proposes Allowing Ukraine and Russia to Fight Before Seeking Peace :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-ukraine-russia-fight-for-a-while-011-4173761.html?ref=DMDesc Ukraine Hits Russia's Crimea Bridge Using 1,100 Kilograms Of Explosives :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ukraine-hits-russias-crimea-bridge-using-1-100-kilograms-of-explosives-4171479.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.274~HT.408~ED.103~
