These two main points, quite obvious to most people following Ukrainian leadership under Zelensky.

I'd go back to square one and ask my self where and when did it all start to go wrong?

I reckon electing a comedian who was cultivated for this position is the root cause. I sincerely hope the Ukrainian people wake up and change course. US and the West are not your true friends and nor do they have Ukrainian peoples interests at heart imho.

End to Ukraine war may be close, Moscow and Kyiv agree as chilling video shows how Ukrainian drone brigade killed 8,000 Russian troops in one month​

Moscow and Kyiv have both signalled the end of the war in Ukraine may be in sight, as chilling footage shows a Ukrainian drone brigade killing 8,000 Russian troops in a single month.

The video shows stricken Russian soldiers desperately trying to fend off approaching drones, throwing sticks and swatting at them in a futile bid to survive.

The grim scenes emerged as both sides begin a tense 32-hour truce to mark Easter in the Orthodox calendar.

Russia's hardline foreign minister issued a surprise statement that 'the prospect of a political and diplomatic settlement is on the horizon.'

Vladimir Putin's 76-year-old top diplomat laced this with his usual invective against the West - in particular the EU - but appeared to concede that an end to the bloody four year conflict could be in sight.

At the same time, Ukraine's top negotiator Lt-Gen Kyrylo Budanov, 40, made clear Russia is shifting its stance.

'They all understand the war needs to end. That's why they are negotiating,' he told Bloomberg.

'I don't think it will be long.'

Budanov - former head of Ukraine's GUR military intelligence - said Russia was moving to an endgame because the 'trillions' it has spend on the conflict was taking its toll.

He did not explain how a territorial carve-up could be agreed, with Putin demanding the entire Donbas - Donetsk and Luhansk regions - as a war trophy, something Kyiv refuses.

'No final decision has been made yet,' he said.

'But, in principle, everyone now clearly understands the limits of what is acceptable. That's enormous progress.'

Zelensky also claimed this week that Putin may feel under pressure to halt the conflict - but warned he could equally double down on repression and order a new mobilisation.

'Perhaps it's the end of the war in one form or another,' he said.

'Or, on the contrary, an escalation of the war.

End to Ukraine war may be close, say Moscow and Kyiv

Has Ukraine created a 'wonder weapon'? RICHARD PENDLEBURY spends days deep underground on the Kharkiv frontline to witness the unjammable killer drone that could decide the war​

On the first episode of a gripping two-part series documenting Ukraine's new fibre optic drones, award-winning foreign correspondent Richard Pendlebury joins the elite Charter Brigade to become the first reporter to witness the 'wonder weapons' in combat.

Fibre optic kamikaze drones are inflicting heavy casualties on Russian forces along the Kharkiv frontline. What sets them apart from conventional attack drones is devastatingly simple, they cannot be jammed.

With the addition of a gossamer thin fibre optic cable running from the drone to its operator, the devices are completely unaffected by enemy electronic warfare systems.

While the cabling limits their range, the drones are piloted by specialist soldiers who live and operate from dugouts deep underground, launching deadly strikes before vanishing back beneath the earth.

Has Ukraine created a 'wonder weapon'? RICHARD PENDLEBURY investigates

Pendlebury spent days underground with three drone pilots, known only by their military call signs, Puma, the team leader, Kush and Umbrella.

Russia 'violates Putin-declared ceasefire' with wave of drone strikes on Ukraine - despite Moscow and Kyiv both signalling end of war is near​

Russia has violated a Kremlin-declared Easter ceasefire after it attacked Ukrainian positions with drones today.

'The ceasefire is not being observed by the Russian side,' said Serhii Kolesnychenko, a communications officer for Ukraine's 148th Separate Artillery Brigade.

He said that while artillery fire had paused in the sector where his brigade was working, at the junction of the Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia regions, Russian forces continued to use drones to strike Ukrainian positions.

Ukrainian forces were responding with 'silence to silence and fire to fire', Mr Kolesnychenko said.

Ukraine's military command has also reported nearly 470 Russian violations of the truce.
