Chinese president 'ready to call' Zelenskyy for first time since war began
China's president hasn't spoken with Mr Zelenskyy since the outbreak of the war, but made flew to Moscow to meet with Vladimir Putin last month. His comments come as some Ukrainian soldiers expressed their eagerness to begin a long-awaited counteroffensive. This is a lesson learned from Russia's failed winter offensive, when the wet conditions forced their tanks onto roads, making them easier targets.
He said one of those dominoes was present on the sidelines of Volodymyr Zelenskyy's visit to Poland yesterday, when senior advisers softened their approach to Crimea, saying that if the spring offensive succeeds then Ukraine would be willing to talk with Russia about the peninsula. "I know I can count on you to bring back Russia to reason and everyone back to the negotiating table," the French told the Chinese premier.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy raised the prospect of withdrawal yesterday if his troops were at risk of being encircled, but today Mr Prigozhin said Kyiv's forces have organised defences among high-rise buildings in the west of the city. He hinted at ammunition being a further issue, but indicated he was not permitted to speak publicly on the matter further.Bakhmut is seen as a pivotal symbolic city, rather than a strategic one. President Zelenskyy wants to hold it to maintain support for Ukraine's resistance among his domestic audience and international allies. President Putin wants the opposite.
Russia alleges Mr Gershkovich"was acting on instructions from the American side to collect information about the activities of one of the enterprises of the Russian military-industrial complex that constitutes a state secret". This follows two other strikes in the city reported by the mayor and independent Russian media yesterday, and a Ukrainian attack on its railway depot last week.The attacks come amid growing talk of a counterassault against Russian forces, themselves worn out by a failed winter offensive.
