White House National Security Council Spokesperson John Kirby stated Friday that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is not ready for negotiations with Russia.

"President Zelensky... also has said he believes in a diplomatic solution, but he's not ready either. So we're just not at a point right now where talks seem to be a fruitful avenue to approach," Kirby said at a press briefing.

Kirby also stated that the US is committed to ensuring that Ukraine continues to receive necessary security assistance.

On another hand, Kirby said that Biden has not indicated that now is the time to hold negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the crisis in Ukraine.

"The President wasn't at all indicating that this now is the time for talks," Kirby said during a conference call.

Biden said he was willing to talk with Putin if there was a sincere interest to end the conflict in Ukraine.

Earlier today, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu considered that some Western countries are not interested in settling the Ukrainian crisis and should persuade Ukraine to sit at the negotiating table with Russia.

The Kremlin pointed out on Friday that Russian President Vladimir Putin was "open to negotiations" on Ukraine but the West must accept Moscow's demands.

This comes a day after US President Joe Biden claimed that he was willing to talk if Putin were looking for a way to end the Ukraine war.
