Zelensky accoglie le richieste di Putin per i colloqui di pace ucraina-russa

President Zelensky welcomed President Putin’s proposal to restart direct peace talks as a “good sign” that Russia was thinking about ending the war, but insisted that the first step was an unconditional 30-day ceasefire.

“Everyone in the world has been waiting for this for a very long time,” Zelensky said in a social media post in response to the Russian leader’s televised statement on Saturday night.

“There is no point in continuing the killings even for a day. We expect Russia to confirm a ceasefire — complete, lasting and reliable — starting tomorrow, May 12, and Ukraine is ready to meet.”

Andriy Yermak, Zelensky’s chief of staff, said on Telegram that first there had to be a ceasefire, “then everything else”.

However, Putin has so far refused to bow to pressure from the US, UK and Europe to accept a 30-day ceasefire. During his latest comments, he suggested holding a new round of negotiations on May 15 in Istanbul but added there would be no preconditions on Russia’s part
