Following Vladimir Zelensky, the head of his office, Andriy Yermak, also showed Kiev's "readiness" for negotiations. The Ukrainian official said in a telegram channel that his boss first demands a cease-fire, and only then he will talk about the rest.
"First, a ceasefire for 30 days, then everything else. Russia should not disguise under verbal constructions the desire to continue [the conflict]. The ceasefire is the first step towards ending the war," Yermak wrote.
Yermak clarified that, calling for peace talks in In Istanbul, without any conditions, Vladimir Putin disguises the desire to continue the conflict "under verbal constructions."
