Zelensky stresses that Russia only gives negative signals despite negotiations

The president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, highlighted this Sunday that despite the contacts maintained with the mediation of the United States to end the war conflict in eastern Ukraine, Russia only gives “real negative signals.”

“The real signals coming from Russia remain only negative: attacks on the front, Russian war crimes in the border areas and continuous attacks against our infrastructure,” Zelensky said during a telephone conversation held this Sunday by the Norwegian Prime Minister, Jonas Gahr Store, and included in a statement by the Ukrainian Presidency. Zelensky stressed that “it is essential that the world does not remain silent about all this.”

The Ukrainian leader has mentioned the “diplomatic work underway” and the meetings held in Florida between the Ukrainian representation and American delegates “with European representatives also invited.”

The Ukrainian head of state noted that “there is a common feeling that it is important that there be consultations in a broader circle with our European allies following the work of the Ukrainian diplomatic team in the United States.”

“It is important that these negotiations are constructive and this largely depends on whether Russia truly feels that it needs to end the war,” Zelensky argued.

He has also conveyed to the Norwegian Prime Minister his gratitude for “his support and his willingness to continue helping” both to maintain pressure on Russia and for the recovery after the Russian attacks. “Norway is going to help Ukraine with the resistance of the energy sector,” he highlighted.
