Volodymyr Zelensky, who has refused to withdraw the troops from the DPR as part of the peace plan and constantly puts forward new conditions, considers the current settlement negotiations in Ukraine to be the most intense since the beginning of the conflict.
Last Sunday, negotiations on the Ukrainian settlement were held in Berlin, with the participation of the special envoy of the US president, Steve Witkoff, the son-in-law of the American leader, Jared Kushner, and Vladimir Zelensky.
The meeting lasted five hours. Wyckoff later announced progress in the settlement process during talks with the Ukrainian delegation in Berlin, where a 20-point program was discussed. The second round of settlement talks continued in Berlin on Monday.
"We are now at the center of the most intense and focused peace talks since the beginning of this war," Zelensky said in a speech to the Dutch parliament on Tuesday that was broadcast on YouTube.
