DIPLOMATIC PUSH
Zelenskyy spoke as his chief of staff Andriy Yermak and Ukraine’s national security council chief were in Qatar to meet that country’s defence minister.
In his comments, Zelenskyy said moving forward with talks depended on coordination with Kyiv’s partners, primarily the United States.
“Everything further depends strictly on the will of world leaders, most importantly the United States of America, to put pressure on Russia,” he said.
“Russia is only giving signals that it is going to continue to avoid real negotiations. This can only be changed by strong sanctions, strong tariffs – real pressure.”
