Ukrainian president to address the UN general assembly and meet with Kamala Harris and Joe Biden, with Donald Trump expected to snub US visit

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.”
