Zelensky’s Plea: Direct Talks with Putin to End Ukraine War
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has issued a direct appeal for talks with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, to bring an end to the ongoing conflict. This call follows a recent meeting between US envoy Steve Witkoff and President Putin in Moscow.
Zelenskyy’s statement indicates support for early dialogue, citing backing from former US President Donald Trump. This development comes amidst a significant shift in Ukrainian public opinion.
A new Gallup poll reveals a majority of Ukrainians now favour a negotiated settlement to the war. This sentiment is reported by France 24. The poll highlights a growing desire for peace amongst the Ukrainian populace.
The shift in public opinion, coupled with Zelenskyy’s direct appeal, adds significant pressure on both sides to consider diplomatic solutions. The implications for regional stability and global security are profound, demanding careful consideration by all stakeholders. The coming weeks will be critical in determining the path forward for peace.
