Russia has responded after Volodymyr Zelensky changed his stance on talks.
Moscow called Zelensky's willingness to hold talks with Russia a sign of "nervousness." The Kremlin, too, has responded to Zelensky’s remarks on talks and said Russia has already incorporated the four former Ukrainian regions, emphasising that this reality “cannot be ignored.” Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky suggested that a return to 1991 borders is no longer a precondition for negotiations with Russia.
However, he still insisted that Kyiv must regain the territory it lost to Moscow in 2022.
Zelensky's latest statement shows that he is ready to give up on Crimea amid a mega Russian blitz.
