Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy accused Russia of rejecting peace during a European Union summit in Brussels. Zelenskiy stated that Russia does not seek peace and instead aims to prolong the conflict. His remarks came as Russian forces launched attacks on nine Ukrainian regions, disrupting power supplies and injuring at least 15 civilians. Officials reported that the strikes targeted civilian areas, raising concerns about the humanitarian impact. The attacks occurred amid growing tensions between Ukraine and the United States, which some analysts fear could weaken Ukraine’s position against Russian aggression. A recent report highlighted a sharp increase in civilian casualties since the invasion began. The situation has intensified as winter approaches, with both sides facing increased pressure. Zelenskiy called for the EU to play a more active role in diplomatic efforts. His comments reflect a broader frustration with Russia’s stance and the lack of progress in peace talks. The conflict continues to escalate, with both sides reporting heightened military activity. The international community remains closely monitoring the developments.
