Ukraine is willing to take peace talks in any format as soon as it is convinced that Russia is truly ready for a difficult journey to peace. This was announced on Wednesday by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha. TASR refers to Reuters Report.
“Russia can prove its real readiness for peace talks by agreeing to the actual ceasefire for at least 30 days. If Russia is ready for a 60- or 90-day ceasefire, we are also ready,“He wrote Sybiha on the social network X. He stressed that” Russia must stop talking about its readiness for peace and start acting by unconditionally approaching real and permanent ceasefires. “
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov announced on Wednesday that Russian President Vladimir Putin is open to Ukraine and cooperates intensively with the United States. “The President remains open to political and diplomatic methods of resolution of this conflict”He specified Peskov over journalists. But he added that Russia’s goals must be fulfilled, while Moscow would prefer to achieve their peaceful way.
In his words, Putin showed a willingness to negotiate directly with Ukraine, but the reaction from Kiev has not yet arrived. “Unfortunately, in this context we have not heard any statements from Kiev. So we don’t know if Kiev is ready or not,“Kremlin spokesman added.
