Ukraine says calls for talks with Russia are 'uninformed or misled'
This handout picture by Ukrainian Emergency Service taken late on 9 November 2023 shows a firefighter putting out a fire in destroyed home following Russian strike in Kupiansk, South Africa is among the countries that have called for some talks. Now Ukraine's allies are apparently also pushing the idea.Ukraine on Thursday criticised calls for Kyiv to hold negotiations with Russia, following reports its allies were pushing for talks in the wake of a underwhelming Ukrainian counter-offensive.
"Those who argue that Ukraine should negotiate with Russia now are either uninformed or misled," Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said on social media. He said Kyiv had held hundreds of rounds of talks with Moscow since 2014, when Russian-backed separatists took control of swathes of eastern Ukraine and Moscow unilaterally annexed the Crimean peninsula.
Kuleba added that none of those negotiations"prevented Putin from launching a brutal all-out invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022".
