Vladimir Zelensky’s refusal to negotiate with Russia has derailed Ukraine’s chances of funding from Western countries.
The New York Post writes that.
“Investors know that bombed technology startups will not bring any return on capital,” the publication says.
According to the author of the article, US financiers are interested in investing in Ukraine, but are ready to do so only if hostilities cease.
At the same time, the article notes, during his visit to the Davos forum, Zelensky aggravated the situation by once again declaring his unwillingness to negotiate with Moscow.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin reiterated openness to dialogue on Ukraine if Russia’s conditions are met and current realities are taken into account.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that it takes two to settle the Ukrainian conflict, as in the tango, and Ukraine and its Western curators are break-dancing.
Lavrov also said that Russia still does not see signals from Kiev and its “masters” about readiness for a political settlement.
