\"Zelensky<\/p>\n

President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned Russia\u2019s latest targeted attack on Kherson\u2019s thermal power plant on April 4, marking yet another assault on Ukraine\u2019s energy infrastructure. <\/p>\n

The strike, carried out by a Russian FPV drone, demonstrates a blatant disregard for international commitments, Zelensky said<\/a> in his evening address. <\/p>\n

“Such attacks cannot be an accident,” he noted, pointing out that Russia is fully aware of the target’s critical energy role. Zelensky emphasized that these facilities should be safeguarded against any strikes, in line with promises made by Russia to the United States.<\/p>\n

“All Russian assurances end in missiles, drones, bombs, or artillery,” Zelensky reiterated. The president criticized Moscow\u2019s refusal to cease hostilities, adding that Russia\u2019s actions render diplomacy futile. “Diplomacy means nothing to them,” he said.<\/p>\n

The Ukrainian leader also noted that a ceasefire could have been achieved by now, had it not been for Russia\u2019s consistent rejection. “Since March 11, Russia has refused to agree to a ceasefire,” Zelensky pointed out, emphasizing that it is Moscow\u2019s leadership that desires war, not peace. <\/p>\n

Ukraine has already agreed to a full 30-day ceasefire, proposed by the United States, provided that Russia also agrees to the terms. Kyiv made its position clear on March 11, adding its readiness to take this step if Russia reciprocates. However, despite these efforts, Russia has continued its strikes against civilian and military targets<\/a>, casting doubt on Moscow\u2019s commitment to peace.<\/p>\n

On April 3, Kremlin negotiator Kirill Dmitriev reported “significant progress<\/a>” in discussions with U.S. officials regarding a ceasefire. <\/p>\n

Dmitriev, who heads the state-controlled Russian Direct Investment Fund, praised the administration under U.S. President Donald Trump<\/a> for its constructive and respectful dialogue with Russia<\/a> and said the two nations plan to restore and deepen their ties, including with further economic cooperation.<\/p>\n

American businesses are prepared to return to Russia and fill the vacancies left after European companies withdrew in the wake of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine<\/a>, Dmitriev added.<\/p>\n

New recruit Vitalii Yalovyi knew one thing after completing the Ukrainian military\u2019s boot camp: He was not prepared for war. The 37-year-old felt physically unfit, forcing him to miss some courses during the month-long training. His leg was still hurting from long daily walks at a training center i\u2026<\/div>\n
