Russia Ukraine war updates | 19 March 2022

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Saturday has once again stressed comprehensive peace talks with Moscow, saying Russia would otherwise need generations to recover from losses suffered during the conflict. In a video address released in the early hours of Saturday, Zelenskyy said Ukraine had always offered solutions for peace and wanted meaningful and honest negotiations on peace and security, without delay. "I want everyone to hear me now, especially in Moscow. The time has come for a meeting, it is time to talk," he said, as quoted by news agency Reuters. "The time has come to restore territorial integrity and justice for Ukraine. Otherwise, Russia's losses will be such that it will take you several generations to recover," he added.
