Russia-Ukraine war live: Zelenskyy calls for ‘real peace’; UK prime minister asks how Russia ‘can show its face’ at UN amid war
Ukrainian president urges UN to back his peace formula; Keir Starmer tells security council he wonders ‘how Russia can show its face in this building’
There is some more detail on Reuters about the Kremlin calling a plan by Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy to force Russia to make peace a “fatal mistake” (see 10.08am BST).
In a call with reporters, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said:
Such a position is a fatal mistake, a systemic mistake. This is a profound misconception that will inevitably have consequences for the Kyiv regime.”
A position based on an attempt to force Russia into peace is an absolutely fatal mistake, because it is impossible to force Russia into peace.
Russia is a supporter of peace, but on the condition that the foundations of its security are ensured.”
