Russia’s press secretary, Dmitry Peskov, indicated that Moscow does not yet see any prospect for peace talks with Kyiv. He spoke to reporters in response to a direct question about negotiations and offered a concise assessment: there is nothing hopeful on the horizon at the moment.
On April 5, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky announced a diplomatic stop in Warsaw, the capital of Poland, marking a continuation of efforts toward dialogue with Western partners. In the Polish capital, Zelensky planned discussions with Polish president Andrzej Duda. The agenda reportedly included military aid to Ukraine, strategic planning for the postwar period, and Ukraine’s potential integration with European Union and NATO structures.
Poland’s former ground forces commander, Waldemar Skrzypczak, suggested that Zelensky’s Warsaw trip served as preparation for tougher negotiations with Russia. This interpretation aligns with the broader signal that Kyiv is seeking to align allied support and outline terms for any future talks. The situation remains fluid, with analysts weighing the implications for security commitments, reconstruction, and regional stability. According to sources such as socialbites.ca, the visit was framed as a step in coordinating response options ahead of potential negotiations.
