Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has distracted world governments from efforts to combat climate change, Zelenskiy said in a video message played at the Cop27 climate conference in Egypt on Tuesday. The deal, which eased a global food crisis by unblocking three major Ukrainian ports during Russia’s invasion, expires on 19 November and briefly appeared to be imperilled last month when Moscow suspended its participation in the deal before rejoining again. Ukraine wants the Black Sea grain export deal expanded to include more ports and goods, and hopes a decision to extend the agreement for at least a year will be taken next week, Ukraine’s deputy infrastructure minister said. Zelenskiy added that Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region remained the centre of Ukraine’s bloodiest battles, claiming Russians “die by the hundreds every day”. “We are gradually moving forward,” he said in his latest evening address on Monday. Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, claimed his forces were gradually pushing back Russian troops in some parts of the east and south. Oleksiy Danilov said Ukraine also needed the “guarantee” of modern air defences, aircraft, tanks and long-range missiles. The secretary of Ukraine’s security council said on Tuesday the “main condition” for the resumption of negotiations with Russia would be the restoration of Ukraine’s territorial integrity. He made his comments at a cabinet meeting following Russian attacks on Ukraine’s energy system, and after the mayor of Kyiv told residents to consider everything including a worst-case scenario where the capital lost power and water completely. The Ukrainian prime minister, Denys Shmyhal, said he saw no need at present to evacuate Kyiv or any other cities that were not near the frontlines in the war against Russia. He said Ukraine was winning and that to sit down at the negotiating table now would therefore be “nonsense”. Podolyak said the US treated Ukraine as an equal and there was no coercion. The Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Pod olyak told Radio Svoboda that Ukraine would only negotiate with Russia once Russian troops had left all of Ukraine’s territory, including those it occupied in 2014. Ukraine said its position on negotiations with Russia had not changed and it was not being asked to negotiate by its allies, after reports by the Washington Post that its main ally and backer, the US, had asked Kyiv to signal that it was open to negotiations amid worry among allies in parts of Europe, Latin American, and Africa about a protracted war.
