Putin Says Ukraine Wasted Opportunity For Talks As War Reaches Day 4

Ukraine war: Russia said Putin had briefed Israel's Prime Minister about "the course of a special military operation to protect Donbas."

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday accused Ukrainian authorities of wasting "an opportunity" to hold talks after Moscow's invasion of its pro-Western neighbour.

The Kremlin said that Putin had briefed Israel's Prime Minister Naftali Bennett about "the course of a special military operation to protect Donbas."

During the call, he "also noted that the Russian delegation is in the Belarus city of Gomel and is ready for negotiations with representatives of Kyiv, who, showing inconsistency, have not yet taken advantage of this opportunity".
