The Russian Ambassador to the UN said that Moscow has not seen diplomatic solutions to end the war in Ukraine and predict the conflict has lasted.
Gennady Gatilov, the Russian Permanent Ambassador to the United Nations, said there would be no direct discussion between Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky in the near future.
Currently, I don't see any chance for diplomatic contacts.
Gatilov accused the US and NATO for pressure on Ukraine to leave the negotiating table, emphasizing that the United Nations should play a bigger role in an attempt to end the conflict in Ukraine.
According to him, the United Nations has been bogged down in politicians for the war, affecting the ability to mediate the mediation of this agency and its attached organizations.
The world has changed and the United Nations will never be the same, Gatilov said, adding that global diplomacy is worst in his 50 years of his career.
Gatilov made a comment in the context of the recent cereal agreement between Russia, Ukraine, Turkey and the United Nations that could lead to a broader peaceful solution.
Russian Ambassador to United Nations Gennady Gatilov spoke at the meeting of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland, February 28.
Russia on February 24 launched a special military campaign to the demilitarized and non -fascist Ukraine.
Gatilov said that Moscow and Kiev were very close to an agreement that could help stop the conflict.
Ukrainian President Zelensky also said that negotiating directly with Putin was the only way to end the conflict, but Kiev only accepted this when Russia withdrew from these force control areas in Ukraine.
Meanwhile, Turkey has maintained relationships with both Russia and Ukraine since the conflict between the two sides broke out.
I still believe the conflict will end on the negotiating table.
The assistant of the Ukrainian president said that any negotiations with Russia are now a disaster and only proves that Moscow has won.
Ukrainian President Podolyak's senior adviser said it would only conduct negotiations with Russia if the country suffered significant tactical losses.
