Zelensky accuses Putin of starting World War Three as fighting continues

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of starting World War Three and said he must be stopped. Zelensky made the comments as Russia launched scores of missiles at targets across Ukraine, including the port city of Odesa, just hours before planned peace talks.

Zelensky also said Ukraine would not withdraw from the Donbas region and warned that North Korean troops were in Russia learning drone warfare. Meanwhile, Ukraine reported that Russia is bypassing international sanctions to source German-made parts for its attack drones.
