Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has pushed back at suggestions that Kyiv could cede territory to Moscow as part of a peace agreement. His comments came after a brief Easter ceasefire last weekend that has now been overshadowed by fatal airstrikes.

Russia continues to target civilian infrastructure in Ukraine: one drone strike hit a bus in Marhanets near the frontline in the south east of the country, killing at least nine people, according to Ukrainian officials. This was one of a number of Russian strikes – ahead of Western representatives gathering in London today to discuss peace efforts.
