Negotiators to visit Kyiv and Moscow as US president Donald Trump says he wants to see an end to the war. What we know on day 1,654 Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that US negotiators will ⁠soon visit Moscow and ⁠Kyiv to resume efforts to end the Russian invasion. The Ukrainian president said in his nightly video address that preliminary dates had been set for the visit. “We expect to see representatives of the US president here in Kyiv,” Zelenskyy said. “There will be a meeting with them in Moscow and in Kyiv. We are ​expecting a meeting with them in the coming days. It is very ‌important. It is important that America continues ‌to be active.” Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin said on Thursday there was a chance of reaching an agreement to end the war in Ukraine. Speaking at an economic ​forum, Russia’s president said a number of countries including the US and China were ready to support a peace settlement. “Ultimately, however, the problem must be resolved by the countries involved in the conflict – Russia ⁠and Ukraine,” he said. “We are grateful to everyone attempting to contribute to a settlement. Is there a chance? In my view, yes, there is.” In Washington, Donald Trump said he wanted to see an end to the war and losses sustained by both sides. “I just want ‌to see that end. I think we’ll get it,” the US president told GB News in an interview that aired on Thursday, a day after telling reporters he wanted a summit with Putin when the Kremlin leader is ready for a peace deal. They last met for US-mediated talks in February. Trump has said he would ask ⁠European nations to pay back the US for military aid and munitions previously sent to Ukraine amid the ongoing war with ⁠Russia and appeared to signal ⁠a halt ​in sales to allied nations. In a social media post, Trump on Thursday also slammed reports of heavily depleted US munition stockpiles amid the ⁠separate war in Iran, while adding that the US was ramping up production and stockpiling munitions. “We are taking them for ourselves, the U.S.A., ⁠rather than selling them to others, but the sales to Allies will soon again, begin,” Trump ​wrote. A Ukrainian strike ⁠on Thursday killed four people, ⁠including two ⁠medical ​personnel, in an attack ⁠on Russia’s border region of Belgorod, officials ⁠said. The region’s official ​headquarters said the ‌dead in Shebekino, just across the border from Ukraine, included a doctor, ‌medic and married couple. ​Three people were injured. Meanwhile, the head of Russian-controlled parts of ⁠eastern Ukraine’s Donetsk Region said ​three ​civilians died in ​drone strikes ‌in ​three ​separate districts of the region. Russian drones struck and damaged a Coca-Cola ⁠plant outside the Ukrainian capital Kyiv on Thursday, Zelenskyy said. Officials ⁠said ​there were no injuries in the strike near the town ⁠of Brovary, east of the capital. “Today, the Russians have hit ⁠a Coca-Cola plant with their drone. Coca-Cola ​is such ‌an enemy that ‌they set it on fire ‌with their Shaheds,” Zelenskyy said in his nightly video address, referring to Iranian-designed drones. “It’s a clear Russian signal to America. The Russians cannot be unaware that ‌this is an American facility.” A Russian attack on ⁠the Ukrainian capital Kyiv ⁠on ​Thursday injured 10 people, triggered a fire and badly damaged a high-rise ⁠residential building, officials said. The city’s military administration initially said one person had died ⁠in the latest assault, but later said ​the report had proved ‌untrue. It said 10 ‌people, including a child, had been hurt. The capital’s mayor, Vitali ‌Klitschko, said nine people were injured, including six medical personnel. Zelenskyy said on Thursday that an investigation would determine what ⁠caused a dispute between two of Ukraine’s security agencies to escalate into a shootout in Kyiv this week that ⁠left ​three members of the defence ministry’s HUR military intelligence directorate injured. The dispute centres on the disappearance ⁠for nine days of a Russian nationalist activist fighting alongside Ukrainian troops. Russia will close German cultural centres on its territory, its foreign minister, Sergey Lavrov, said Thursday in a retaliatory measure reflecting the deepening tensions between Moscow and European countries that are helping Ukraine resist the Kremlin’s invasion. Lavrov’s announcement came after Berlin blamed Moscow for an attempted drone attack at Leipzig airport on 4 August. Continue reading...
