Zelensky: “Every defence package saves lives”

The Kremlin, through its spokesman Dmitri Peskov, responded by accusing Europe of wanting the “prolongation of the conflict”, while acknowledging that the ongoing talks in Paris will touch on “several aspects of a solution to the crisis in Ukraine”. The meeting is being attended by US envoys Marc Rubio and Steve Witkoff, the head of the Ukrainian presidential administration Andrii Yermak, and Kiev’s foreign and defence ministers.
