According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky requested the stabilization of the war’s front lines with Russia and the establishment of a ceasefire during an interview with Fox News on Wednesday. Responding to a question about accepting a peace deal based on the current battle lines, Zelensky stated, “We need to stop the hostilities now. In my opinion, this is the real way to end the war. We call it a ceasefire; stabilizing the lines and stopping the hostilities.” Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin met with Steve Witekoff, the US Special Envoy in St. Petersburg on Wednesday, and said that Donald Trump had stressed the necessity of ending the Ukraine war and halting human casualties in a recent conversation. This meeting took place one day after Witekoff’s negotiations with Zelensky in Oslo, the capital of Norway. Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre and Finnish President Alexander Stubb were present at these negotiations, and Jared Kushner joined the talks via video conference. The focus of these discussions was exploring ways to resolve the Ukraine war.
