Foreign ministry branded Zelensky's principles as a theatrical performance or spectacle.
In a recent development, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has turned down Russian President Vladimir Putin's invitation for talks on a peaceful settlement in Ukraine, which was proposed to take place in Moscow. The Kremlin had suggested the meeting as a potential step towards resolving the ongoing Russia Ukraine conflict. However, Zelenskyy has remained firm in his stance, rejecting the invitation and demanding a ceasefire before any such meeting takes place. The Russian Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, made this statement during an interview with the program 'Big Game', which was published by the Russian Foreign Ministry. Lavrov also noted that Russia is ready to seek compromises to resolve the conflict in Ukraine, but these compromises are conditioned on ensuring its legitimate interests in the sphere of security. Despite Zelenskyy's rejection, Putin has maintained his position, with the proposed talks still set to take place in Moscow, as originally suggested. However, no specific details about the compromises or security interests have been disclosed at this time. The video of Lavrov's interview was also published by the Russian Foreign Ministry, providing further insight into Russia's stance on the matter. This rejection marks a continuation of the ongoing tensions between Ukraine and Russia, which began in 2014 when Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine. The conflict in eastern Ukraine, between Ukrainian government forces and pro-Russian separatists, has claimed thousands of lives and displaced millions. As the situation continues to evolve, both sides will need to find a way to come to the table and work towards a peaceful resolution. The international community will be closely watching these developments, hoping for a resolution that brings stability and peace to the region.
