Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Friday said Ukraine was not eager to talk to Russia's Vladimir Putin but that it has to face the reality that this will likely be necessary to end the war.

"What do we want from this meeting... We want our lives back... We want to reclaim the life of a sovereign country within its own territory," Ukrainian President Vlodymyr told an Indonesian conference on Friday.

But he added that Russia did not appear to be ready yet for serious peace talks.

"There are things to discuss with the Russian leader. I'm not telling you that to me our people are eager to talk to him, but we have to face the realities of what we are living through," Zelenskiy said

Meanwhile, The Guardian newspaper reports ten people were killed and at least 35 wounded after Russian missile strikes hit the Dnipropetrovsk region in central-eastern Ukraine Friday morning.

And Ukrainian source Ukiniform says Russian forces launched three missiles from the Rostov region of Russia, with one missile hitting a Ukrainian national guard base in Dnipro.
