Separately, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed that Kiev sent a delegation to London to meet the United States and other Western countries on Wednesday (23).

Putin, who spoke to a Russian state television reporter, said that the fighting had resumed after his surprising 30-hour ceasefire in Easter, which he announced unilaterally on Saturday.
The two countries accused each other of violating Putin’s ceasefire, which Kiev initially regarded as a maneuver.
Washington said he would accept a length of ceasefire. Zelensky, who asked her to be extended to a 30-day ceasefire in civilian cases, said that the continuous Russian attacks during Sunday weapons showed that Moscow intended to extend the war.
