Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has urged Western leaders to pressure Russia into peace using “all means” necessary.

Mr Zelensky has long said he will not negotiate with Russia directly until Moscow’s forces leave all Ukrainian territory, including Crimea.

His call, however, comes as Russia makes gains against Ukraine, with Kyiv suffering from a shortage of Western-supplied weapons.

    Zelenskyy is just a puppet on a string, he does what he’s told or he’ll be replaced. He also has a wife and children to think about. He’s basically a hostage at this point. Doesn’t excuse his behaviour, of course, but it does help to explain why he’d be behaving so rabidly.
