Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said that the Russian president was only trying to derail the peace summit in Switzerland. Kuleba's comment comes after publications about Vladimir Putin's readiness for negotiations and a ceasefire.
"Why Russian "sources" suddenly inform the media that Putin is ready to end the war on the current borders? This is simple. Putin is desperate to derail the Swiss Peace Summit on June 15-16. He fears her success.
His entourage sends false signals of supposed readiness for a ceasefire, even though Russian troops continue to brutally attack Ukraine, and their missiles and drones descend on Ukrainian cities and towns,", wrote on the X social network.

According to Kuleba, Putin has no desire to stop the aggression against Ukraine.
"Only the principled and united voice of the world majority can compel it to make a choice in favor of peace rather than war. This is what the Peace Summit is for. That is why he is so afraid of her. And that is why it is extremely important that as many leaders from all continents and parts of the world as possible attend it," the minister added.
