(Reuters) - President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said late on Sunday that strength and diplomacy must work together to bring the Russian war in Ukraine to an end and to ensure that such conflict does not happen again in the future.

"We understand very clearly that diplomacy has no prospects without strength," Zelenskiy said in his nightly video address.
