Member of Reuters Team Killed in Russian Attack on Ukrainian Hotel
------------------------------------------------------------------

In the Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk, a safety adviser working for the
Reuters news agency was killed and four Reuters journalists were injured
in a Russian strike on their hotel on Saturday. Ryan Evans was a
38-year-old British citizen. In a statement, Reuters said, "Ryan has
helped so many of our journalists cover events around the world; we will
miss him terribly." The injured journalists are reportedly from Ukraine,
the U.S., Latvia, and Germany. Two of them were hospitalized.

Meanwhile, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met with President
Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv Friday. Modi called for peace talks to end
the war.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi: "No conflict can be resolved on the
battlefield. The road to resolution can only be found through dialogue
and diplomacy. And we should move in that direction without wasting any
time. Both sides should sit together to find ways to end this crisis."
