Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is willing to discuss his country's neutrality in order to end the war. But in a video address on Sunday, Ukraine's embattled leader said he would not sacrifice its territorial integrity. With Russia growing more focused on defeating Ukraine's forces in the east, Zelenskyy is looking towards an end to the war, with fears rising that should Russia take full control of the Donbass region it may try to split the country in two, in a so-called Korean model. Zelenskyy's comments came ahead of a fresh round of peace talks set to take place this week in Turkey. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden's remarks over the weekend — interpreted by many as tantamount to calling for regime change in Russia — continued to reverberate among the United States' friends and foes. Biden had said Russian President Vladimir Putin "cannot remain in power" during a speech from Poland, although Secretary of State Antony Blinken was among the U.S. officials to say that Washington was not pursuing "a strategy of regime change."
