It was only Friday when Vladimir Putin suggested a peace deal that could bring an end to the war in Ukraine, but it was a proposal that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky immediately rejected, calling the idea “absurd.” He then proceeded to travel to Switzerland for an international conference where world leaders were attempting to craft an alternate peace plan. (They did this despite the fact that neither Vladimir Putin nor Joe Biden attended.) He came away from the meeting singing a different tune, claiming that he would present a different peace plan to Putin after the conference finished voting on the final language. I suppose we can’t fault him for trying, but Putin has already put forth his terms. It seems unlikely that he would turn around and agree to something markedly different. (Moscow Times)
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Saturday he would present Moscow a proposal for ending the war once it had been agreed by the international community.
He made the commitment in Switzerland during an address to an inaugural summit on peace in his country, attended by more than 90 countries, but not Russia. Zelensky told the forum he hoped the summit would lay the groundwork for a “just” and “lasting” settlement with Russia.
