President Volodymyr Zelenskiy Of Ukraine Says Will Hold Talks With Russia on Border With Belarus
The Ukrainian leader later questioned whether much may come of the talks, but said he felt bound to make an attempt if it meant a chance at peace.
I do not believe much in the result of this meeting — but let them try so that not a single Ukrainian citizen has doubts that I as president did not try to stop the war when there was a chance, albeit little, Zelenskiy said on Telegram.
President Vladimir Putin, who launched the assault on Thursday with the object of dismantling Ukraine s military, has said he s prepared to authorize talks about Ukraine adopting a neutral status, a premise Kyiv has rejected. The premise of talks and how either side would define neutrality is open.
