Kremlin Slams Ukraine: 'No Signs of Talks', Zelensky Maintains Ban on Direct Negotiations with Putin

In this latest update, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov slams Ukraine for showing no sign of readiness to engage in direct negotiations with Russia. Despite Moscow’s openness to peace talks, Ukrainian President Zelensky maintains a strict ban on any negotiations with Vladimir Putin—a move he implemented in October 2022 to stop separatism and control backchannel talks. Peskov insists that Ukraine must act, especially in light of its legal ban on direct talks. #Ukraine #RussiaUkraineConflict #Kremlin #DmitryPeskov #Zelensky #Putin #UkraineTalks #PeaceTalks #Diplomacy #UkraineBan #Russia #InternationalRelations #UkraineNews #Geopolitics Also Read Pakistani Troops Violate Ceasefire For Fourth Night Amid Rising Tensions After Pahalgam Attack :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/pakistani-troops-violate-ceasefire-for-fourth-night-amid-rising-tensions-after-pahalgam-attack-4137009.html?ref=DMDesc Lebanon and Syria Agree to Ceasefire Following Two Days of Border Clashes :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/lebanon-syria-ceasefire-agreement-border-clashes-011-4097569.html?ref=DMDesc Israel Halts Supply Entry To Gaza, Warns Of Further Action If Hamas Rejects Ceasefire Deal :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-halts-supply-entry-to-gaza-warns-of-further-action-if-hamas-rejects-ceasefire-deal-4084551.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.274~HT.408~ED.194~GR.121~
