Ukraine-Russia Peace On Cards? Kyiv Proposes Truce Talks With Moscow After Negotiations Stalled In June | World News

According to Al Jazeera, Ukraine proposed to hold a new peace meeting with Russia next week after the negotiations that stopped last month.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed that Rustem Umerov, the Secretary of Defense Council on Saturday, submitted an offer for a meeting with Russian negotiators next week.

“Everything should be done to get a ceasefire, Z Zelenskyy said to the nation at the evening. “The Russian side should stop hiding from decisions.”

He reiterated that he was ready to sit face to face with Putin, the leader of Ukraine. “There is a need for a meeting at the level of leadership to really ensure the peace peace,” he said.

According to Al Jazeera, there was no immediate response from Russia.

Umerov, a former Minister of Defense, was appointed as the President of the National Security and Defense Council last week and was assigned to add more acceleration to negotiations.

He chaired his country’s delegation in two previous talks in Turkey earlier this year, which provided a little more than the agreement agreement of the prisoners and the remains of the soldiers.

In the previous tours, Russia summarized a list of harsh demands for Ukraine and called on to reject Western military support according to Al Jazeera.

However, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Friday that Moscow’s peace efforts need “more acceleration”.

The change came after US President Donald Trump, who was seen to adopt a conciliatory approach to Russia after initially taking office, on Moscow.

This week, Trump has set a 50 -day deadline for the implementation of secondary sanctions on Moscow’s ceasefire in Ukraine or “100 percent tariffs” and secondary sanctions to countries that purchased Russian oil.

He also promised to increase arms shipments to the war that fought in the war.

MINISTRY Spokesman Maria Zakharova said on Thursday that Russia’s Sanctions of Washington will not accept the “blackmail” of the ultimatum and the decision to continue its arms delivery was a sign for “abandoning the peace process”.
