Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has said Russia's extreme demands make it pointless to continue low-level talks aimed at brokering an end to the war. Zelensky has called Russia's peace conditions an "ultimatum" and said he remains open to meeting President Putin directly. Zelensky has pressed Putin in recent days and launched two daring attacks on Russian targets, in an embarrassing setback for the Kremlin. In a video conference, Russian President Vladimir Putin publicly questioned the meaning of peace talks with Ukraine, accusing top leaders in Kiev of ordering deadly terrorist attacks on bridges in Russia. Mr. Putin said the attack on the Bryansk bridge and another in Kursk, apparently targeting civilians, proved that the government in Kiev was "degenerating into a terrorist organization whose supporters are becoming accomplices of terrorists." "The current regime in Kiev does not need peace at all," Mr. Putin said. "What is there to talk about?" "How can we negotiate with those who rely on terrorism?"
