Calls for reaching a peace agreement are being actively discussed, but Ukraine's ambassador to the United Kingdom, Valeriy Zaluzhny, believes that emphasizing them at this time is premature. He asserts that it is essential to focus on full-fledged, albeit difficult, negotiations to achieve a peace agreement.
«Negotiations remain one of the key tools for implementing foreign policy and protecting Ukraine's national interests», - emphasized Zaluzhny.
The ambassador highlights that it is important for Ukrainian diplomats to understand the specifics of negotiations with the Russian Federation, as well as analyze diplomatic experiences based on Russian foreign policy.
Preparation for negotiations
Regarding preparation for negotiations, Zaluzhny considers historical experience, including Soviet diplomacy, to be an important element. President Zelensky also noted that he seeks dialogue with Russia but will not make any concessions regarding territories.
