According to President Volodymyr Zelensky, his team is ready to continue peace talks to end the Russian war. The White House is also of the same mind. The main obstacle has again been the Kremlin's position.
Points of attention
- The shifting dynamics of peace talks, influenced by geopolitical factors like the war in the Middle East, highlight the complexities involved in resolving international conflicts.
- President Zelenskyy's efforts to advance peace talks reflect Ukraine's determination to seek a peaceful resolution amid obstacles and geopolitical tensions.
Putin once again hinders peace talks
Zelensky officially confirmed that a new round of peace talks was scheduled for March 18-19.
However, things changed dramatically as Donald Trump's team asked them to move due to the war in the Middle East.
There's a whole Santa Barbara with these negotiations — because of the war in the Middle East. The Americans said they were ready to meet, but only in America, because the war and the security situation prohibit them from leaving the US territory right now.

As the head of state noted, his team made it clear that it was ready to fly to Miami or Washington.
However, the problem is that it was Putin's delegation that refused to fly to the United States, instead offering one of the countries — Turkey or Switzerland. This offer has already been rejected by official Washington.
"We immediately said that we are ready for a meeting next week, we are preparing for a meeting in America, Switzerland, Turkey, and even, if they are not afraid, in the Emirates," Zelensky added.
