The Kremlin said yesterday that Russia is willing to negotiate with Ukraine to end the conflict under Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. In response to a question about whether Russia is ready to hold talks with Ukraine under Zelensky, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that “Russia is generally open to the negotiation process.
