— Ukraine has again expressed its readiness to end the war. We held a meeting with the President of the United States, Donald Trump, and agreed that this is how we would try to organize the dialogue: around the front line as it currently exists. (…) The front line can become the beginning of diplomacy, Volodymyr Zelensky pointed out.
According to the Ukrainian diplomatic leader, Russia does not want the war to end. — He's doing everything he can to escape diplomacy again. As soon as the issue of long-range weapons for Ukraine became a little more distant, Russia almost automatically lost interest in the talks. This is a signal that this topic may be the necessary key to peace, said the leader, commenting on the postponement of the meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin to an unspecified date.
