[ad_1]

Live news updates Ukrainian and Russian negotiating teams are set to resume in-person talks this week, as President Joe Biden tried to temper comments calling for the removal of Vladimir Putin by saying the U.S. isn’t seeking regime change in Moscow.
 
French President Emmanuel Macron warned against an escalation of “words or actions,” a day after Biden said the Russian president “cannot remain in power,” and previously labeled Putin “a butcher.” The comments “narrow the window of opportunity for normalizing dialogue, so much needed now, with the current U.S. administration,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in response. 

: A group representing employees of state-owned banks will join central trade unions in a nationwide strike Monday and Tuesday to protest against the government’s economic policies.

The unions, after a meeting of their joint platform, on March 22 announced the strike against “the anti-worker, anti-farmer, anti-people and anti- policies”. The All India Bank Employees Association will support the strike to protest against the government’s plan for privatisation of state-owned lenders and the Banking Laws Amendment Bill 2021.
