Russia-Ukraine peace talks ‘sounding more realistic’: Volodymyr Zelenskyy

-


 

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said peace talks with Russia were beginning to sound “more realistic” but that more time was needed to ensure the outcome of the negotiations was in Kyiv’s interests.

Zelenskyy’s comments early on Wednesday came as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine neared the three-week mark and Russian forces continued their bombardment of Ukrainian cities, including the capital, Kyiv, and the southern port city of Mariupol.



Negotiators from the two countries have been meeting via video link since Monday, with the Ukrainian delegation pressing for a ceasefire, troop withdrawals, and security guarantees.

Russia is yet to capture any of Ukraine’s 10 biggest cities, and officials in Kyiv have raised hopes the war could end sooner than expected, possibly by May. They say Moscow may be coming to terms with its failure to impose a new government by force and is running out of fresh troops.


The two sides are expected to speak again on Wednesday.

This race has reached an unprecedented level of closeness, with no clear frontrunner emerging. As we’ve seen, many celebrities have thrown their support behind Kamala Harris, and political heavyweights like Allan Lichtman have predicted her victory. Polls have leaned in her favor, further heightening the expectation for a Democratic win. However, after extensive analysis, I find myself compelled to make a bold prediction: Donald J. Trump will emerge victorious in the 2024 presidential election. States Prediction With just one day until the election, I predict a nail-biting finish as both parties make a final push in key battleground states. The current electoral map, showing a 312 to 226 Republican lead, hints at a strong GOP advantage. However, there might be surprises in the swing states of Nevada, Michigan or Wisconsin. Harris may win one of these but
