Ukraine leader Volodymyr Zelensky says he is willing to “try” talks with Russia but was skeptical, as Kyiv and Moscow prepare to meet at Ukraine’s border with Belarus on the fourth day of Russia’s invasion.

“I will be honest, as always: I do not really believe in the outcome of this meeting, but let them try,” Zelensky says in a video address. He added that if there was a “chance” to end the war, he should take part in the talks.
