Ukraine’s president says Russia can have peaceful negotiations anytime so long as they pull out of “lawful” Ukrainian territory.

Peace talks in Switzerland concluded on Sunday. During the conversations, nearly all 90 countries signed the final declaration. China was notably absent from the discussion.

The document held Russia responsible for the “war” in Ukraine. Additionally, it condemned the nation for its continued assault.

Moscow called the talks a waste of time.

A European official asserted that Russia does not seek to end the war, pointing to the terms drawn up by Russia’s president.

“It was not a peace negotiation because Putin is not serious about ending the war,” Ursula Von Der Leyen, President of the European Commission said. “He’s insisting on capitulation. He’s insisting on ceding Ukrainian territory, even territory that to date does not, is not occupied by him. He’s insisting on disarming Ukraine, leaving it vulnerable to future aggression. No country would ever accept these outrageous terms.”

Zelensky claims that some countries have offered to hold a second peace summit, but no definitive plans have been made.
