Ukraine is ready for talks with Russia, including on neutral status regarding NATO, Ukrainian Presidential Advisor Mykhailo Podolyak said. Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov expressed skepticism about President Zelenski’s words that he was ready to discuss Ukraine’s neutrality.
The next 3 days will be crucial for Ukraine in countering Russian aggression, Mykhailo Podolyak added. “Yesterday was a hard day. It was a hard night. It will be difficult today, and perhaps tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. These crucial days will show “who is who” in this country, in the region and globally”, Mykhailo Podolyak said.
