Then -- one day later…
KIEV, March 28. /TASS/. Ukraine’s priorities at talks with Russia remain the same, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky said on Monday. According to him, they involve Ukraine’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and security guarantees.
“A new round of negotiations is ahead, because we are looking for peace. Our priorities in the negotiations are known. Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity are beyond doubt. Effective security guarantees for our state are mandatory. Our goal is obvious - peace and the restoration of normal life in our native state as soon as possible,” he said in a video address published on his office’s Telegram channel.

That must have been a pretty eloquent “No” from Biden, leaving church service on Sunday, there…
