Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has called on the international community to increase pressure on Russia to achieve a regime change following a deadly bombing in Kyiv. Zelensky warned that without such a change, Moscow would continue to destabilize neighboring countries. In contrast, Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed a desire for a lasting and sustainable peace but acknowledged that the conflict would be prolonged. Political analyst Olivier Vedrine described the situation as indicative of a long war. Zelensky also expressed willingness to meet with Putin, signaling a potential diplomatic engagement amid ongoing hostilities.
