A reporter asks President Zelenskyy if Ukraine could be willing to concede territory in a peace deal, an issue that has been a sticking point in peace talks. Russia wants to keep the Ukrainian land it has seized in the war, while Ukraine has thus far refused to give up the contested territories.

Three years ago, Maine was the first state in the nation to outlaw the use of sewage sludge on farmland. But PFAS had already seeped into drinking-water wells and crop roots, tainting vegetables, beef and milk. Sydney Cromwell reports via @insideclimatenews.org:
Maine Was First to Ban Spreading PFAS-Contaminated Sludge on Farmland. Now Sludge Is Filling up Landfills.
Well before the ban took effect, the “forever chemicals” linked to cancer, birth defects and other serious health problems had tainted drinking-water wells, vegetable roots, beef and milk in Maine.
