Zelenskyy is ready to meet Putin to bring an end to this violence.

 Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has recently indicated he is willing to consider some concessions to Russia to help bring an end to the violence, including a neutrality policy, albeit one underpinned by robust security guarantees, raising more questions about the current state of talks and specific elements of any peace deal that may be under consideration. “I’m ready for negotiations with Putin. I was ready for the last two years. And I think that without negotiations, we cannot end this war,” said Zelenskyy to Fareed Zakaria. However, Zelenskyy also warned that if any negotiation attempts fail, it could mean the fight between the two countries would lead to “a third World War.”
