German FM Rejects Talks with Putin Amid Ukraine Updates

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock dismisses the possibility of negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin, stating that there is currently no basis for talks. Baerbock emphasizes that Ukraine must regain its peace, which can only be achieved by stopping the Russian war of aggression, withdrawing Russian soldiers from Ukraine, and ending the daily attacks on Ukraine. Meanwhile, Ukraine and Russia exchange accusations of attacks in Zaporizhzhia, near Europe's largest nuclear power plant, with Kyiv accusing Moscow of shelling a village and Russia accusing Ukrainian forces of shelling a school. Additionally, Russia arrests seven individuals accused of plotting to assassinate two Russian journalists, allegedly with support from Ukraine.
