KYIV, March 16 – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a video address released early today that the positions of Ukraine and Russia at peace talks were sounding more realistic but more time was needed.
A senior Ukrainian official said yesterday that talks with Russia were very difficult but there was “certainly room for compromise,” adding that negotiations would continue today.
“The meetings continue, and, I am informed, the positions during the negotiations already sound more realistic. But time is still needed for the decisions to be in the interests of Ukraine,” said Zelensky. – Reuters
