Zalensky supports Israel's mediation of Russian war
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has called for Israel to serve as a mediator for negotiations with the Kremlin amid neighboring Russia's invasion, reports say.
Zelensky told reporters that Jerusalem could be an ideal location for talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war and hinted that Moscow was amiable to the proposal, the Kyiv Independent reported.
"We talked to Mr. Bennett, and I told him that it was wrong and unconstructive to meet in Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus. These are not the points where we can find common ground and stop the war," he said, per the outlet. "Do I think that Israel can be such a land and especially Jerusalem? I think so. And I told him that."
Zelensky emphasized the talks would involve direct negotiations between him and Putin, not just "technical meetings." While withholding details, he noted that Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett had communicated with Putin and stressed Ukrainian officials "take it positively."

Putin should jump at the chance to get out of the clusterf*** he and his army are in. Whether he will is doubtful because he is not the kind of guy to admit he has made a mistake. One of the big downsides for Putin is that the war has exposed the ineptitude of the Russian army and the failure of their equipment. He has had two of his top generals killed in action and fired about eight others.
