Russia pushing USA out of talks – Zelenskyy
Russia is trying to push the United States out of talks to end the war, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy believes.
"When they [Russia] throw some questions at us about the talks, I believe they are pushing America out of the talks... We react to this as follows. I believe America is a real leader. We want them to participate. We want them to put pressure on Russia," Zelenskyy said during a briefing on Tuesday.
According to the president, if the Russian Federation ceases fire, Ukraine is ready to sit down for a conversation and move on to other steps to end the war.
