Willing to talk directly to Vladimir Putin and not via intermediators, says Zelensky

DAVOS (TIP) : Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Wednesday, May 25,  that he was only willing to talk directly to Vladimir Putin and not via intermediators, according to AP. He said if the Russian President “understands reality, there is the possibility of finding a diplomatic way out of the conflict”. Speaking to an audience at the World Economic Forum in Davos, he also said Ukraine would fight until it recovered all of its territory. “Moscow should withdraw its troops back to the lines in place before Russia began its invasion on February 24. That might be a first step towards talks,” he said, adding Russia had been playing for time in its talks with Ukraine.
