Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Friday that he can see no willingness on the Russian side to end the war in Ukraine, reported Reuters. Zelenskyy said that Russia thinks it can escape war crimes prosecutions because of its nuclear threat. 

Russo-Ukrainian peace talks have been deadlocked over the past few weeks as Russia has ramped up its offensive in the east and south of Ukraine. Zelenskyy said last Friday that peace talks with Russia at a high risk of ending given the action of Russian troops during the war.
