Ukraine has proposed a new round of peace negotiations with Russia for next week, following a halt in talks last month. President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed that secretary of the Defense Council Rustem Umerov submitted the meeting offer.
Zelensky emphasized the need for direct engagement with Russian President Vladimir Putin, stating, “All efforts must be made to achieve a ceasefire.” He believes that leadership-level meetings are crucial for establishing lasting peace, urging Russia to cease its avoidance of decision-making.
Umerov, recently appointed as the Head of the National Security and Defense Council, is tasked with revitalizing the negotiation process. He previously led Ukraine’s delegation in earlier rounds of talks held in Türkiye, which yielded agreements on prisoner and body exchanges.
In prior discussions, Russia presented demands that Ukraine found unacceptable, including the cession of four regions and the rejection of Western military aid.
