Top Zelensky aide says Russia starting to realize the real price of its war in Ukraine

One of Ukraine’s negotiators in ceasefire talks with Russia says there has been a perceptible shift on the Russian side after 10 days of warfare that have seen Ukraine put up unexpectedly fierce resistance.

Mr. Podolyak made the comments after taking part in two rounds of talks with Russian officials at the Ukraine-Belarus border over the past week. He said a third negotiating session would happen “in the next day or two.” The political adviser was dressed in a military green sweatshirt and wore a pistol on his belt. Several times during the 30-minute interview, he stood up from his chair to peek out through vertical blinds at the city below.

The key achievement of the talks so far was supposed to be a temporary ceasefire on Saturday that would have allowed civilians to leave the besieged eastern Ukrainian cities of Mariupol and Volnovakha. The agreed ceasefire never happened, but Mr. Podolyak says he believed the problem was one of poor discipline among Russian troops.

Russia Devil gone see.,..When peaples believes..on them fighting devil

Can you edit out the part about peek down at city below? That can get him dead

Stop playing this PR game

Upside down morals re Ukraine. Putin says has 'right' to invade Ukraine & kill everyone tho it's independent state, but rest of world has no 'right' to intervene to save Ukraine. He gets his way ONLY by threatening nukes. Megalomaniacs not stopped with words & sanctions.

It will ruin Putin, he is done but nobody in his office will tell him. They are Yes men. The resistance was not expected because he told the world, not one more NATO country on our border and he built up troops saying we are serious. But, no resistance, so he went in. But now!

West says Russia attacked nuclear plant, Russia blames UkraineThe United States and its allies accused Russia on Friday of attacking Ukraine's largest nuclear power plant and putting the lives of millions of Europeans at risk of radiation fallout, but Russia claimed a 'Ukrainian sabotage group' was responsible for setting fire to a nearby training facility. Let’s play the blame game. The only people who will ever know the truth are the ones who bombed/started the fire. The only thing I know is that anyone who plays with nukes in any form is mad. I worry for the state of our world. There is something weird here. On the CBC radio, a Canadian Ukrainian with parents living in sight of the blast, said it was a training facility that was hit, away 600m, I think he said, from the reactor Only one person to blame
