The Hague (AFP) – Addressing the Dutch parliament ahead of a Council of Europe summit, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says Russian President Vladimir Putin “publicly lied” when claiming Moscow’s forces had captured the city of Kupiansk. Russia said it had captured Kupiansk in November but Ukraine later claimed it had retaken several areas of the city in a “breakthrough” operation, prompting Zelensky to publish a video of him visiting the city’s outskirts on Friday.
