Did Ukraine Even Read Putin's Peace Talks Proposal?
"Based on the response [from Zelensky’s office], it appears they failed to properly engage with the transcript of the Russian president’s statement [on peace talks] and the numerous statements and media reports from around the world endorsing it," Russian FM spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told Sputnik.
Putin has made it clear: "first negotiate about the root causes, and then we can talk about a ceasefire," she pointed out.
However, Zelensky responded to Putin's offer with an ultimatum. He claimed that Kiev "expects Russia to confirm a full, long-term and reliable ceasefire" starting on Monday, and "Ukraine [is ready to fulfill it."]
Vladimir Putin on Sunday suggested to resume direct talks with Kiev without any preconditions, and to start without delay, on Thursday, in Istanbul.
