Zelenskyy says Kyiv ready for peace talks, but will not cede territory

In comments to reporters released on Tuesday, he said he was happy for talks to be held anywhere, except in Russia itself or on the territory of Moscow's close ally Belarus. In Monday's comments to reporters, Zelenskyy said he was happy to attend peace talks, including in Hungary, despite reservations about some of the positions of its Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who, he said, "blocks everything for Ukraine". "We would like very much for China to put pressure on Russia to end this war and not to assist its continuation in any way," he said.
