A senior adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky suggested that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could serve as a negotiator between Moscow and Kyiv.

“I have no doubt that Mr. Netanyahu could be an effective mediator,” Mykhailo Podolyak says in an interview with the Israeli i24 TV network. “Since he understands precisely what modern wars are, and what is the essence of mediation under these conditions.”

But Podolyak says that Moscow does not truly want negotiations, but only Ukraine’s surrender.
