The Pentagon and the White House say intelligence suggests Vladimir Putin may not be getting the “full picture” of the war in Ukraine from his advisers.
Officials in Ukraine say Russian forces have continued to strike around Kyiv and other cities, including residential areas of Chernihiv — both areas where Moscow pledged on Tuesday to “drastically” reduce combat operations.
The Red Cross has confirmed a claim by Ukrainian authorities that one of its centres was hit by Russian bombardment in Mariupol, the besieged port in southeastern Ukraine destroyed by Putin’s forces.
The Kremlin says there was ‘no breakthrough’ in talks between Russian and Ukrainian negotiators in Istanbul on Tuesday – and there’s been no second day of talks on Wednesday either.
