Ukraine's Zelenskyy: Very hard to negotiate with Russia after seeing what they have done in Ukraine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Monday said that it is very hard to negotiate with Russia after seeing what they have done in Ukraine. Zelenskyy has accused Russia of war crimes and genocide against the Ukrainian people in light of the emergence of evidence of widespread atrocities committed by Russian forces against civilians. Russian forces have withdrawn from various areas to the north of Kyiv and seemingly left a trail of destruction in their wake.

Zelenskyy said that Ukraine will not rest until it has identified those responsible for the atrocities in the Kyiv region. He noted that the longer Russia drags out the negotiation process, the worse it will be for them.
