Ukraine’s president says Russia is blockading his country’s largest cities to starve them into submission.
But Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned on Saturday that the strategy will fail.
He appealed to Russian President Vladimir Putin to meet with him.
Fighting raged in several parts of Ukraine, the Russian military reported that it has used its latest hypersonic missile for the first time in combat.
Ukraine’s deputy prime minister says Russian and Ukrainian officials agreed to operate 10 humanitarian corridors.
They include the besieged southern port city of Mariupol, where fighting shut down a major steel plant.
In a separate development, four U.S. service members died during a NATO training exercise unrelated to the war in Ukraine.
