Ukraine is ready to hold negotiations to end the war with Russia, but Moscow has not yet responded regarding a proposed meeting next week.

President Volodymyr Zelensky said this during his evening video address.

“Our negotiating group is working continuously – the guys are in contact with the American side. Ukraine is ready for meetings, but at this point, unfortunately, we still do not have firm answers from Russia regarding what has been proposed for next week. So far, we hear nothing but more manipulation around ‘Oreshnik’. This is certainly not about peace,” Zelensky emphasized.
