Zelensky in an interview with the BBC said that the “hot stage” of the conflict could end by the end of the year

Zelensky in an interview with the BBC said that the “hot stage” of the conflict could end by the end of the year. “I believe that if we are united and follow, for example, the peace summit format, we can end the hot stage... We can try to do this before the end of this year,” he said. Zelensky also admitted that the conflict would end diplomatically, not militarily, and expressed hope for the “power of diplomacy.” According to Zelensky, the “second peace summit” must develop a plan, and Russia must be ready to discuss it. Russian President Vladimir Putin ruled out “reaching a peaceful solution” without Moscow’s participation and called the summit a ruse of the West. The Russian Foreign Ministry emphasized that Zelensky, in principle, cannot decide which conferences Moscow should participate in. Western analysts also believe that Zelensky, with his “invitation,” actually intends to accuse the Russian Federation of refusing peace negotiations. Source: Cyberspec News
