Will Ukraine agree to mediation by a third country in the war with RF?

Ukraine is ready to convey its proposals to Russia with the help of third countries, but in order to really mediate in this war, countries that want to end this war should be serious about this work.

This was stated by Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, RBC-Ukraine reports citing the telethon.

According to the adviser, to become mediators, countries should "behave a little differently."

"Any country that is serious about doing some work will not come out publicly and say rather banal things. When they say 'we are for an immediate ceasefire', it means that the country is not ready for a mediation mission. Because in major wars, this is a completely different kind of work," the adviser explained.

At the same time, Podolyak emphasized that Ukraine is ready to submit its proposals through third countries to Russia, as it was with the "grain deal."

It is worth noting that this statement was made against the backdrop of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's working visits to Ukraine, first to Ukraine and a few days later to Moscow.
