Volodymyr Zelenskyj wants to involve citizens in a possible deal with Russia
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has announced that he will let his people decide on any possible "compromise" in the negotiations with Russia. The terms of a possible deal could mark "historic" changes, the head of state said in an interview with news website Suspilne.
The Ukrainian side will ultimately decide on this in a referendum. "The people will have to vote on certain forms of compromise. And what that will look like depends on our talks with Russia," he said. He insisted on a face-to-face meeting with his Russian colleague Vladimir Putin.
In exchange for a ceasefire, a withdrawal of Russian troops and security guarantees for his country, he would be willing to talk about Ukraine's renunciation of NATO membership, Zelenskyy said. Kyiv is also ready to discuss the status of Russia's annexed Crimea and the pro-Russian separatist-held Donbass in eastern Ukraine after a ceasefire and steps towards security guarantees.
US President Joe Biden warns against the use of biological weapons

The news of the night in brief:
The Russian newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda, which is close to the Kremlin, published high numbers of allegedly killed Russians in Ukraine and later deleted them again. An online article Sunday, citing the Defense Ministry, said 9,861 Russian soldiers had died since the war began. That would be significantly more than the 498 dead that Moscow has officially confirmed so far. According to the Ukrainian account, almost 15,000 Russian soldiers have been killed since the beginning of the war.
