"Russian-Ukrainian Conflict: Weather Hinders Attacks, Ukraine Accused of Treating Battle as a Game"

Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed the G20 virtual summit, calling the conflict in Ukraine a "tragedy" while reiterating that Russia has never refused peace talks. However, only a few countries, including Spain, Singapore, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Korea, and India, tuned in to hear his speech, while China and the US declined to attend. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky acknowledged the difficult defensive operations faced by Ukrainian troops on the eastern front as winter sets in, with snow already falling in parts of the country.
