Ukraine’s president said late on Monday night that negotiations with Russia had been “pretty good” as he said further talks between the two sides were planned for Tuesday.
Volodymyr Zelensky also said he spoke with Israel’s prime minister, Naftali Bennett, as part of a negotiation effort to end the war with Russia “with a fair peace”.
“Our delegation also worked on this in negotiations with the Russian party,” Mr Zelenskiy said in his nightly video address on Telegram. “Pretty good, as I was told. But let's see. They will continue tomorrow.”
Mr Zelensky also used his address to thank the Russian state TV employee who interrupted a broadcast on Monday night to protest against the war.
Marina Ovsyannikova shouted out “no to war” and held up a placard saying: “Don’t believe the propaganda. They’re lying to you here”.
Mr Zelensky said he was “grateful” to Ms Ovsyannikova for “trying to deliver the truth”.
