Podolyak: Any ideas of 'frozen conflicts' not discussed in any offices

Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, has said that any ideas of "frozen conflicts" are not discussed in any offices.

He wrote this on Twitter, according to Ukrinform.

"Any ideas of 'frozen conflicts' that are periodically heard in the media are a fiction, a pseudo-analytical product and a focus of lobbying efforts by Russian diplomacy," Podolyak said.

According to him, all players are well aware of the limited resources and time available to the Russian Federation and Putin's elite.

Therefore, Ukraine's path is unchanged: we will finish it off., Podolyak said.

Some media reports said that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin had allegedly agreed to the participation of Pope Francis's envoys in Ukraine peace talks. However, no one has confirmed this information.

Ukrainian officials have repeatedly stated that the only starting point for a dialogue between Kyiv and Moscow is the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine.
