Moscow /Kyiv | Jagran World Desk: Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Russia will not pause its military operation in Ukraine before the next round of peace talks. On Monday, Russia destroyed S-300 anti-aircraft missile systems which had been supplied to Ukraine by a European country, the Russian ministry said.
Meanwhile, Ukraine's President asked Seoul for any military aid it could provide as he said Russia could only be forced to make peace. Speaking in a video address to South Korean lawmakers, Zelenskyy said his country needed more help, including weapons, if it is to survive the war.
"You have something that can be indispensable for us ... armored vehicles, anti-aircraft, anti-tank, anti-ship weapons," he said.
