Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says it’s possible that talks with Russia’s Vladimir Putin will not take place, according to Reuters.

Speaking in an address broadcast on national television, Zelenskyy reportedly said it is not a question of whether or not talks with the Kremlin will be held, but how strong one is at the negotiating table.

The U.S. has stopped Russian bond payments in a bid to ramp up the pressure on Moscow.

The United States stopped the Russian government on Monday from paying holders of its sovereign debt more than $600 million from reserves held at American banks, in a move meant to ratchet up pressure on Moscow and eat into its holdings of U.S. dollars.

Under sanctions put in place after Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24, foreign currency reserves held by the Russian central bank at U.S. financial institutions were frozen.

But the Treasury Department had been allowing the Russian government to use those funds to make coupon payments on dollar-denominated sovereign debt on a case-by-case basis.

A team of humanitarian workers from the International Committee of the Red Cross has been released after being held during an attempt to reach the southern Ukrainian city of Mariupol, according to Ukraine Deputy Prime Minister Irina Vereshchuk.

A team of ICRC representatives seeking to evacuate people from the besieged city of Mariupol had been held in nearby Mangush, Vereshchuk said, but after negotiations, they were released and sent to Zaporizhia — roughly 200 kilometers away.

Vereshchuk said that despite the Kremlin’s promises, Russian forces had not allowed anyone to travel to Mariupol. Vereshchuk said seven humanitarian corridors were in place on Tuesday.

Putin is not ready to give up on the war in Ukraine, Brookings Institution says

Russian President Vladimir Putin is not ready to back down even though his army is doing much worse than expected, according to Angela Stent, a nonresident senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.

“He’s not willing to give up obviously, he’s going to keep striking,” she told CNBC’s “Street Signs Asia.”

Stent said Russia is not serious about peace talks yet, and Putin will not give up on his goal of weakening Ukraine.

“If he can’t subjugate it, at least make it very difficult for what’s left of the government in Kyiv to function,” she said, adding that Putin also wants to take over the Donbas region fully. The Donbas is a breakaway region in eastern Ukraine which includes Donetsk and Luhansk, two pro-Russian self-proclaimed republics.

“He would like to do that in time for May the 9th, when the Russians will have their parade in Moscow commemorating victory in World War II,” said Stent, referring to what Russian call “Victory Day.”

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has warned that reported atrocities in Borodyanka, an urban settlement near Kyiv, could be worse than the devastation seen in Bucha.

Speaking in his nightly address to the Ukrainian people, Zelenskyy said more than 300 were killed and tortured in the town of Bucha, a suburb near the capital of Kyiv. However, the number of victims of Russia’s onslaught in Borodyanka could be even larger.

“We already have information that in Borodyanka and some other freed towns, the amount of victims can be even larger,” Zelenskyy said via Telegram, according to a translation.

“The occupiers will be held responsible. We are already doing everything as fast as we can to find all the Russian soldiers involved in these crimes,” he added.

Russian forces are preparing to launch an offensive in east Ukraine, seeking to establish full control of the breakaway regions of Donetsk and Luhansk, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

According to the statement, Russian forces are continuing to block the northeast city of Kharkiv, with “constant artillery shelling” destroying residential areas and infrastructure.

Russian forces have launched massive artillery and airstrikes on the besieged southern port city of Mariupol, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said. Russian troops were also reported to have shelled the southern city of Mykolayiv with cluster munitions prohibited by the Geneva Convention.

China’s foreign minister speaks with Ukrainian counterpart for the first time in a month

China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi spoke to his Ukrainian counterpart, Dmytro Kuleba, on a phone call state media said was made at Ukraine’s request.  

This is the first reported high-level conversation between the countries since March 1, when Kuleba asked Beijing to use its ties with Moscow to stop Russia’s invasion, the Ukrainian foreign ministry said at the time.

Wang repeated China’s message that peace and stability should be achieved through negotiation, according to state media.

Kuleba tweeted: “Grateful to my Chinese counterpart for solidarity with civilian victims.”

“We both share the conviction that ending the war against Ukraine serves common interests of peace, global food security, and international trade,” he added.
