Despite predictions that Russia is mired in a war that it cannot win, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says the best way for a swift resolution is through diplomacy. He says his country could win on the battlefield but noted the conflict “will be bloody, there will be fighting, but it will only definitively end through diplomacy”. He has also ruled out any concessions to Russia. It comes as US President Joe Biden signed a bill that confirms $40 billion of new military and humanitarian aid for the war effort. It’s the largest package of American assistance since Russia invaded Ukraine in February and is expected to last for 5 months. Zelensky and his wife Olena Zelenska have given a rare joint interview, the 2nd time they’ve been seen together since the war began. She says her family had been “torn apart” like others across the country but added “no one takes my husband away from me, not even the war.”
