Ukraine’s foreign minister is looking for the United Nations to host a peace summit between his government and Russia by the end of February.
Dmytro Kuleba said U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres should mediate the possible talks, though he noted that Moscow would need to face prosecution for war crimes in an international court before Ukraine would extend an invitation to the Kremlin.
Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed just days ago that he’s ready to engage in talks to end the war and blamed Kyiv for not taking that step, though Russian forces continue to attack Ukraine, suggesting that any deal is far from imminent. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke with India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday and said after that he could “count on India’s participation in” implementing the 10-point peace formula he presented to world leaders last month at the Group of 20 summit in Bali, Indonesia.
Back in September, Russian authorities held four sham referendums in Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson that supposedly showed that an overwhelming number of residents supported joining the Russian Federation, though Western leaders universally denounced the processes as illegitimate. In November, Russian forces retreated from Kherson, the only regional capital they had captured during the war.
