Kyiv: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Saturday that he is ready for talks with Russia. He has approached Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett to mediate peace talks between the two countries. Zelensky wrote on Twitter, “Discussed the state of war in Ukraine with the Prime Minister of Israel, Naftali Bennett. We talked about the possibilities of Russian aggression and peace talks. We must stop the repression against civilians. I sought the help of the Israeli Prime Minister in the release of the Mayor of Melitopol and local public figures.”
There are also indications from Russia that Vladimir Putin may be ready for a meeting with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky to end the war. “No one is ruling out the possibility of a meeting between Putin and Zelensky,” the Kremlin press pool reported on social media on Friday, reporting comments by Vladimir Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov. As announced by the Kremlin, it is possible.” Three rounds of talks have already taken place. In such a situation, Russia’s stand on the proposal of the Ukrainian President is being seen in a positive way.
The ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine has entered its 17th day. Meanwhile, the Russian Defense Ministry once again said that Moscow’s special military operation is targeting only Ukrainian military infrastructure and the civilian population there is not in danger. However, Western countries have denied Russia’s claims and, in response to the invasion of Ukraine, imposed sweeping sanctions on Moscow.
Russia attacked Ukraine on 24 February
In addition, the US and European countries have also imposed sanctions on their neighboring country Belarus to support Russia’s actions in Ukraine. Let us tell you that on February 22, Russian President Vladimir Putin allowed his army to launch special military operations in Ukraine on February 24, after granting independent state status to Donetsk and Luhansk.
War held Russia back for many years: Zelensky
Earlier, Volodymyr Zelensky said in a statement that if Russia brings millions of soldiers and thousands of tanks, then it can definitely capture Kyiv. But this will be possible only when Russia destroys this city. The Ukrainian President claimed that Russia has suffered the most in several decades due to this war. This war has pushed Russia back for many years.
