Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy recently suggested the possibility of negotiations with Russia during his visit to the United States, where he plans to present his "victory plan" to the White House. Zelenskyy stated that this plan could serve as a foundation for future discussions with Russia, indicating a willingness to engage with any representatives from the Russian side.

Zelenskyy expressed hope that Russia would participate in follow-up talks for a Swiss-organized "peace summit" held in June. He emphasized the significance of having a concrete proposal to facilitate dialogue.

In response, the Russian Foreign Ministry, represented by spokesperson Maria Zakharova, dismissed Zelenskyy's suggestion. Zakharova characterized the talks as irrelevant to any potential settlement, describing them as a fraudulent effort orchestrated by Western powers and their Ukrainian allies.

As both nations navigate the complexities of ongoing tensions, the prospects for dialogue remain uncertain.
