Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelinsky said on Saturday that only diplomatic means could end the war in Ukraine as talks between Kiev and Moscow stalled.
“The end of the conflict will be diplomatic,” Zelensky said in an interview with a Ukrainian television channel.
“There are things we can only achieve around the negotiating table. We want everything to go back,” he said.
On Tuesday, an adviser to President Mikhail Podoliak said talks between Moscow and Kiev were suspended, stressing: “Russia does not have a key element, which is to understand what is happening in the world right now. The negative role. “
The next day, the Kremlin accused Ukraine of “lacking the full will” to negotiate with Russia to end the war that has continued since Russia’s February 24 invasion of Ukraine.
Numerous meetings were held between the negotiators of the two countries without tangible results.
The last meeting between the heads of the two delegations, Vladimir Medinsky on behalf of Russia and David Arakhamia on behalf of Ukraine, dates back to April 22, according to Russian agencies.
After Russian forces failed to take control of Kyiv and its environs, they concentrated their efforts in eastern Ukraine, where heavy fighting is taking place.
