The comments come after Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy told incoming US President Donald Trump he would be open to talks, but was sceptical Vladimir Putin would want peace.
Speculation over truce talks came on the same day Russia conducted further missile strikes on the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia.Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk says peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia could begin in coming months.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy last week met with incoming US President Donald Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron. "As you can imagine, our delegation will be co-responsible for, among other things, what the political calendar will look like, perhaps what the situation will be like during the negotiations, which may, although there is still a question mark, start in the winter of this year."
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said for the first time he would be willing to cede territory to Russia to end the war in his country. Professor Willasey-Wilsey added that he was anticipating Mr Putin's forces would attempt to make further territorial gains from April onwards, as Ukraine moved into summer.At least three people were killed and five hurt in a Russian missile strike that destroyed a private clinic in the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia on Tuesday, local governor Ivan Fedorov said.
