Admin’s Note

The support of President Zelensky for Russia’s proposal for direct negotiations is seen as a step towards ending the war. A ceasefire is a necessary condition for both sides, and it is crucial not to miss this opportunity and to connect it to a sustainable solution. The involvement of the international community is also important, especially how the United States and Europe respond to this situation and provide support is key. The impact of the war is widespread, so further collaboration among nations is required. It is necessary to carefully monitor future developments.
