Halting hostilities by freezing the front line at its current positions could be the fastest route to achieving peace with Russia. This was stated by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday, June 7.
In response to a question during an interview with the British channel Sky News about the possibility of a ceasefire along the current line of contact, he declared: “Yes. This is the fastest way.”
However, the Ukrainian leader clarified that such a scenario does not signify recognition or transfer of territories currently under Russian control to the Russian Federation. Zelensky added that such a freeze would help save lives, allow soldiers to be withdrawn from the front line, and shift the conflict towards a diplomatic resolution.
On the same day, it was reported that Volodymyr Zelensky arrived at Downing Street almost an hour after the start of negotiations between the leaders of Britain, France, and Germany. Earlier, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz had arrived at the residence of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer to discuss potential negotiations with the Russian Federation.
Macron and Scholz departed from the discussions on Ukraine at Starmer’s residence, after which Zelensky and the British Prime Minister remained at Downing Street together.
