Zelensky said that the fight against Russia will continue to be «bloody,» but that diplomacy would be the only way to end the conflict decisively.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky insisted on Saturday that diplomacy is the only way to end the Russian invasion of his country, even as peace talks continue to stall.
«There are things that can only be reached at the negotiating table», Zelensky said in an interview with a Ukrainian news channel. Ukraine has so far been able to keep Russia from attaining its initial military goals, beating back the invading forces from the capital city of Kyiv and the northern city of Kharkiv. The fighting is now focused on the eastern Donbas region, which has for several years been gripped by pro-Russian separatist forces. As Zelensky made his comments on Saturday, the Times of Israel reported that Russian forces had destroyed a shipment of weaponry bound for Ukraine from ally nations.
