Kyiv has intensified diplomatic efforts in a bid to force Moscow into direct talks to end the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Speaking in Estonia on Tuesday, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine is building a "clear diplomatic strategy to ensure that Russia does not believe the war can still yield any benefits for it."
He also pointed out that Ukraine’s defence forces have significantly strengthen their positions on the frontlines, which could be an important factor to push the Kremlin to the negotiating table.
“Ukraine’s positions on the front line are strong. Russia is losing more than 30,000 of its soldiers every month, either killed or seriously wounded.”
Another argument to pressure Moscow to talks with Kyiv is Ukraine’s intensified long-range strikes deep into Russian territory, Zelenskyy stated.
