Kremlin dismisses Zelensky's plan to force Russia into ending war

Russia insists fighting will continue; Ukraine leader refuses to compromise with Putin

- 

The Kremlin on Aug 28 dismissed talk by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky about a plan he has to end the war and said Russia would continue what it calls its "special military operation" in Ukraine.

Mr Zelensky said on Aug 27 that he would present his plan - full details of which he did not publicly disclose to US President Joe Biden and his two potential successors.

While addressing a news conference, he said Kyiv's three-weekold incursion into Russia's Kursk region was part of his plan, but it also comprised other steps on the economic and diplomatic fronts.

Mr Zelensky who is pressing Washington to allow his forces to use long-range US-supplied arms to strike deep inside Russia - said the idea was to force Moscow to end the war.
