Ukraine war briefing: With no Miami breakthrough, Zelenskyy turns to European allies
"Three days of talks between Ukrainian and US officials in Miami, Florida produced no evident breakthrough by the end of Saturday. Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said he joined his negotiators for a very substantive and constructive call with US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Ukraine is committed to continuing to work honestly with the American side to bring about real peace, Zelenskyy said on Telegram, adding that the parties agreed on the next steps and a format for talks."
"The main targets of these strikes, once again, were energy facilities, Zelenskyy said. Russia's aim is to inflict suffering on millions of Ukrainians. Macron, the French president, slammed what he called Russia's escalatory path, adding: We will continue these efforts with the Americans to provide Ukraine with security guarantees, without which no robust and lasting peace will be possible. We must continue to exert pressure on Russia to compel it to choose peace."
"The protective shield over the Chornobyl disaster nuclear reactor in Ukraine, which was hit by a drone in February, can no longer perform its main function of blocking radiation, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has announced."

Zelenskyy joined negotiators for a substantive and constructive call with US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner and said the parties agreed on next steps and a format for talks. Zelenskyy will visit London to meet Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron and Friedrich Merz to take stock of peace negotiations and prior plans for a European peacekeeping force. Russia launched more than 700 drones and missiles, targeting energy and rail infrastructure and causing outages. The IAEA announced the Chornobyl shelter can no longer block radiation after a February drone strike.
