Ukrainian president backs negotiations despite Trump’s comments while calling for more sanctions on Russia after deadly missile attack

Thousands of Ukrainian soldiers seized about 1,300 square km of Russia’s Kursk region in August last year in what Kyiv said was an attempt to gain a bargaining chip in future negotiations and to force Russia to shift military forces from eastern Ukraine.
