俄罗斯军队正在继续他们穿越乌克兰的尝试据美国官员称，由总统弗拉基米尔·泽伦斯基(Volodymyr Zelenskyy)领导的乌克兰人正在进行“顽强的抵抗”。
袭击始于2月24日，当时俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京宣布了一项“特别军事行动”
最近几天，从邻国白俄罗斯向乌克兰首都基辅移动的俄罗斯军队不顾抵抗，向市中心推进。在基辅，以及哈尔科夫和马里乌波尔等主要城市，猛烈的炮击和导弹袭击仍在继续，其中许多袭击是针对民用建筑的。俄罗斯上周还首次轰炸了西方城市，目标是利沃夫和波兰边境附近的一个军事基地。

泽伦斯基向俄罗斯记者概述了和平协议的目标
自乌克兰被入侵以来，乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽伦斯基(Volodymyr Zelenskyy)首次接受俄罗斯记者采访，他描述了乌克兰在结束战争方面的一些立场。
泽伦斯基在接受俄罗斯著名独立新闻网站TV Rain和Meduza采访时表示，只有俄罗斯将军队撤回到入侵开始前占领的领土，即克里米亚和乌克兰东部顿巴斯地区分裂分子控制的地区，任何和平协议都是可能的。
泽伦斯基说，他的主要目标是“最大限度地减少伤亡人数，并缩短这场战争的时间。”
“俄罗斯的撤退是为了妥协——但那只是2月24日之前的事情，是在进攻之前。让他们回到那里，”泽伦斯基说。“我明白，强迫俄罗斯完全解放领土是不可能的。那将导致第三次世界大战。我完全理解这一切。我说:妥协。回到这一切开始的地方，在那里我们将努力解决顿巴斯问题，这个困难的顿巴斯问题。”
泽伦斯基还表示，乌克兰准备与俄罗斯讨论采取“中立”和“无核地位”的立场，但希望作为回报，乌克兰得到安全保证。
他再次表示，他将在乌克兰就这一问题举行全民公投，任何条约都需要得到“保证国”的批准，而其他官员则表示，保证国必须包括美国。
泽伦斯基重申，只要俄罗斯军队留在乌克兰领土上，英国和土耳其等保证国就不会签署任何协议。
法国总统回应拜登对普京的评论
法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙对美国总统拜登用强硬措辞描述俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京持谨慎态度。
在法国第三电视频道的一次露面中，马克龙警告说，拜登在华沙称普京为“屠夫”，并补充说，“看在上帝的份上，这个人不能继续掌权。”

“我不会使用这种措辞，因为我继续与普京总统进行讨论，”马克龙说。
白宫官员很快澄清了拜登的即席讲话，称总统并没有要求莫斯科政府立即发生变化。
克里姆林宫发言人德米特里·佩斯科夫谴责拜登，称“谁将继续在俄罗斯掌权不是由美国总统决定的，也不是由美国人决定的。”
马克龙表示，不断升级的言论无助于给乌克兰带来和平。
“我们希望在不升级的情况下阻止俄罗斯在乌克兰发动的战争——这是我们的目标，”马克龙说。“如果这是我们想要做的，我们就不应该让事情升级——无论是用语言还是用行动。”

Russia-Ukraine live updates: Zelenskyy outlines goals for peace agreement
irections, while Ukrainians, led by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, are putting up "stiff resistance," according to U.S. officials.
The attack began Feb. 24, when Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a "special military operation."
Russian forces moving from neighboring Belarus toward Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, have advanced closer to the city center in recent days despite the resistance. Heavy shelling and missile attacks, many on civilian buildings, continue in Kyiv, as well as major cities like Kharkiv and Mariupol. Russia also bombed western cities for the first time last week, targeting Lviv and a military base near the Poland border.
Russia has been met by sanctions from the United States, Canada and countries throughout Europe, targeting the Russian economy as well as Putin himself.
Zelenskyy outlines goals for a peace agreement to Russian journalists
In his first interview with Russian journalists since his country was invaded, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described some of Ukraine's positions for ending the war.
During an interview with popular Russian independent news sites TV Rain and Meduza, Zelenskyy said any peace deal is only possible if Russia withdraws its troops to the territory occupied before the start of the invasion, meaning Crimea and the separatist-held areas of the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine.
Zelenskyy said his main goals are "to maximally reduce the number of casualties (and) to shorten the length of this war."
"The withdrawal of Russia to compromise territories -- but that is everything (that) was before 24 February, before the assault. Let them return there," Zelenskyy said. "I understand that to force Russia to completely liberate territory is impossible. That will lead to a third world war. I totally understand all that. And I say it: compromise. Return to where all this started and there we will try to resolve the question of Donbas, the difficult question of Donbas."
Zelenskyy also said that Ukraine is ready to discuss taking a position of "neutrality" and "non-nuclear status" with Russia, but wants security guarantees for his country in return.
He again said he would put the issue to a referendum in Ukraine and that any treaty would need to be ratified by "guarantor countries" -- which other officials have suggested must include the United States.
Zelenskyy reiterated that no guarantor countries, such as the United Kingdom and Turkey, will sign any agreement while Russian troops remain on Ukrainian soil.
French president reacts to Biden comments on Putin
French President Emmanuel Macron spoke cautiously about U.S. President Joe Biden using tough language to describe his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin.
In an appearance on the France 3 TV channel, Macron warned against escalating language a day after Biden while in Warsaw called Putin a "butcher" and added, “For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power."
"I wouldn't use this type of wording because I continue to hold discussions with President Putin," Macron said.
White House officials quickly clarified Biden's off-the-cuff remarks, saying the president wasn’t calling for an immediate change in government in Moscow.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov denounced Biden, saying "it’s not up to the president of the U.S. and not up to the Americans to decide who will remain in power in Russia."
Macron said the ramped-up rhetoric is doing nothing to bring peace to Ukraine.
"We want to stop the war that Russia has launched in Ukraine without escalation -- that's the objective," Macron said. "If this is what we want to do, we should not escalate things -- neither with words nor actions."
Ukrainian forces purportedly take back towns, villages
Ukrainian forces appear to have had several successes Sunday, retaking several villages and towns in the northern and eastern parts of the country as they continue to wage fierce counterattacks against Russian troops, according to Ukrainian officials.
Ukrainian authorities claimed their troops have retaken control of some villages around Malaya Rogan near Kharkiv in the east, close to the Russian border.
Ukrainian forces also drove Russian troops from the town of Trostyanets in northern Ukraine between Kharkiv and the strategic city of Sumy, according to the mayor of Trostyanets. Video posted online appeared to show Ukrainian troops in Trostytanets.
There is also a report from Ukrainian officials that two villages were retaken near Mykolaiv in the south, where Ukrainian forces have launched a counterattack near the Russian-occupied city of Kherson.
3.8 million refugees have fled Ukraine
