Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stressed, on Saturday, that the Ukraine war can only be resolved through “diplomacy”.
“The end will be through diplomacy,” he told a Ukrainian television channel amid a deadlock in negotiations between Kyiv and Moscow. The war “will be bloody, there will be fighting but will only definitively end through diplomacy”.
“There are things that can only be reached at the negotiating table,” he said.” We want everything to return (to as it was before)” but “Russia does not want that”, Zelenskyy said, without elaborating.
On Tuesday, Kyiv’s lead negotiator Mykhaylo Podolyak pointed out that talks with Moscow were “on hold” after taking place regularly in the earlier stages of the conflict but without substantial results.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov accused Kyiv authorities of not wanting to continue talks to end hostilities.
“Talks are indeed not moving forward and we note the complete lack of will of Ukrainian negotiators to continue this process,” Peskov said.
The last talks took place on April 22, according to Russian news agencies.
