07:19 Kuleba: Russia has destroyed the peace talks despite 200 negotiations.

Ukrainian foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba stated that negotiations with Russia have been unsuccessful in the past. He stated that Russia does not tend to negotiate in good faith, unless they are forced to do so. Over the course of 200 rounds of peace talks between 2014 and 2022, Russia has undermined the peace process and started a "total war" against Ukraine. Kuleba believes that the only solution lies in unifying the entire international community, which should pave the way for true peace. The peace summit taking place in Switzerland on June 15 and 16 is crucially important and more countries should participate, he stated.
