US EditionZelensky Urges Global South to Push Russia Towards Peace
Ukrainian President Zelenskyy called on Global South countries to exert diplomatic pressure on Russia to end its war in Ukraine, highlighting stalled peace talks and ongoing conflict.
- On August 23, 2025, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky urged countries of the Global South to pressure Russia to end its war with Ukraine and help bring Russian President Vladimir Putin to negotiate peace.
- This appeal comes in the wake of Russia's large-scale military campaign launched against Ukraine in early 2022, which has led to Russia controlling close to 20 percent of Ukrainian land and ongoing conflict, including recent territorial gains by Russian forces in the Donetsk region.
- Zelensky reaffirmed his readiness for any meeting format with Putin, emphasized the need to stop killings, and discussed cooperation opportunities with African partners while Ukrainian Ambassador to India Oleksandr Polishchuk called for India’s increased role in peace efforts.
- Polishchuk praised Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's position that India is not neutral but supports peace and dialogue, highlighting the intense India-Ukraine communication since 2023 and plans to continue engagement at the upcoming UN General Assembly.
- Despite renewed diplomatic attempts led by US President Donald Trump, including efforts to arrange a Putin-Zelensky summit, the negotiation process remains stalled due to Moscow’s reluctance and lack of agreed agenda, leaving the conflict unresolved.
