Vladimir Putin wants the United Nations to help Ukraine. He thinks Ukraine needs a new government. Ukraine does not like this idea. They think Putin wants to stop peace talks.

The United States wants peace in Ukraine. They talked about a truce in the Black Sea. But Russia wants some conditions. They want some sanctions to end. This makes people worry about peace.

Putin says Ukraine's government is not legal. He wants new elections. But many people in Ukraine cannot vote now. They are away because of the war. Ukraine says Russia is not telling the truth about attacks.
