A Hebrew-speaking adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky welcomes Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s trip to Moscow for talks with Russian Vladimir President Putin about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, but expresses skepticism it will lead to a diplomatic breakthrough.

“We don’t know why [the trip] was made, if it was political or electoral,” Vladislav Roitberg tells Radio 103FM. “We’re open to diplomacy, whether by Bennett, [Turkish President Recep Tayyip] Erdogan or any other leader, it’s welcomed. Time will tell if it succeeds.”
