GENEVA (Reuters) - A top Ukrainian diplomat warned against any appeasement of Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying that the latest deadly attacks on Ukraine showed he had no desire for peace, and asked allies for further help.
Russia pounded Ukraine's power grid in the largest air strike in almost three months on Sunday in a move that Ukraine's ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva said showed Putin's determination to continue the 1,000 day-old war and "plunge Ukraine into darkness and cold".
