Update(11:56ET): Fresh statements by Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba appear to directly contradict Vladimir Putin’s earlier assessment of a “certain positive shift” in ceasefire talks with the Ukrainian delegation.
Speaking to Bloomberg, Kuleba cited “zero progress in talks” while questioning President Putin’s narrative directly. “Zero progress in talks… hard for me to understand what kind of progress President Putin is referring to,” he said.
He further described that the multiple rounds of talks have thus fear been somewhat futile, as they “don’t impact Russia’s behavior on the ground.” He further stressed that Zelensky’s prior offer of Ukraine’s “neutrality” on the NATO membership question “must come with security guarantees.”
