> Yulia Mendel, Zelensky’s former spokeswoman, said he is not seeking a peace agreement with Russia because he has taken no concrete steps toward one. She said he would have repealed the 2022 decree barring talks with Vladimir Putin, pursued legal changes for presidential elections and resigned if he were acting in the country’s interests.
