These people can’t want peace

As reported by Russian news agency RIA Novosti, Erdogan offered Ukrainian President Zelenskiy to arrange a meeting with Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin. Zelensky said in Lviv that he saw Erdogan’s visit as a “strong sign of support” for Ukraine. However, he ruled out a peace deal with Moscow as long as Russia does not completely withdraw its troops from Ukrainian territory. “People who kill, rape and attack our cities with cruise missiles every day cannot want peace,” the Ukrainian president said. “You have to leave our territory first, then we’ll see.”
