Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba says his country wants an international conference on ending the war to be held at the end of February.

Speaking to the AP news agency on Monday, Kuleba also suggested that Ukrainian soldiers will be trained outside the country to learn how to use the US Patriot air defense system.

He said that the Patriot missile battery will be operational in less than six months and that Ukraine will do whatever it can to win the war next year.

Kuleba also said that his government will seek the cooperation of the United Nations to hold a "peace summit" in February, which marks one year since Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has already proposed a 10-point peace plan that includes Russia's withdrawal from all Ukrainian territory. He hopes his plan will be on the peace summit agenda.

In a video released on Monday, the president said he spoke by phone with India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi and called for India to be more active in efforts to end Russia's aggression.

The Ukrainian president appears to be trying to lay the groundwork for peace talks with Russia.

But the war shows no sign of ending as Russia continues its attacks on Ukraine's infrastructure, and the Ukrainian military is thought to be responsible for explosions at a military base in Russia.
