Blinken emphasizes Ukraine's terms for peace talks with Russia.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that meaningful talks over ending the war in Ukraine wouldn't be possible until the country was capable of defending itself, and that no just and lasting peace could be achieved unless it involved Russia's military withdrawal from occupied Ukrainian territory. Blinken said Washington was ready to support peace efforts by other countries, including recent overtures from China and Brazil. In Kyiv, air defenses shot down more than 30 Russian cruise missiles and drones Friday in Moscow's sixth air attack in six days, local officials said.
