Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the retaking of Snake Island shows that Kyiv “cannot be broken” by Russia’s onslaught.

Speaking as he arrived at the conference, Lavrov said:"Despite all this and the useful discussions that should allow us to ask our Western colleagues some very blunt questions, they have no answers to these questions."

He declared that Russia remains ready to sit down for talks to end the fighting, adding that"those who refuse to do so should know that the longer it lasts the more difficult it will be for them to make a deal with us.
