Zelensky names peace negotiator

Mar 16, 2025

Kiev [Ukraine], March 16: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has appointed presidential office chief Andrii Yermak, as the chief negotiator for potential peace talks, the presidential office in Kiev said on Saturday.
Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha, Defence Minister Rustem Umerov and Yermak's deputy, Pavlo Palisa, are also part of the delegation. Yermak is considered the most influential person in Ukrainian politics after Zelensky.
The four negotiators had already met with the United States in Saudi Arabia last week, which led to the resumption of US arms deliveries to Ukraine.
Ukraine has agreed to the US proposal of a 30-day ceasefire, provided Moscow complies. Russia, on the other hand, opposes an unconditional ceasefire.
The Kremlin only recognizes the US as a partner for a peace agreement, not the Ukrainian leadership or the European states.
The last direct Ukrainian-Russian negotiations took place in 2022 shortly after the start of the Russian invasion, but ended without results. (DPA)
