Zelenskyy Demands Timeline for Peace Negotiations

President Zelenskyy on March 20 called for resumption of peace talks with Russia, demanding 'clear dates—at least approximate ones' for negotiations. The main sticking point remains Russia's demand for Ukrainian surrender of the remaining 20% of Donetsk region, which Ukraine refuses without binding security guarantees. Peace talks have been paused due to the US-Israeli military operations against Iran dominating Western diplomatic attention.
