President Zelenskyy continued negotiations with the Prime Minister of Israel Naftali Bennett on resistance to Russian aggression. The head of state announced this on Twitter. He also asked his Israeli counterpart to cooperate in ending the repression by the Russian Federation.
Продовжив діалог з Прем'єр-міністром 🇮🇱 @naftalibennett. Говорили про агресію з боку РФ та перспективи мирних переговорів. Маємо припинити репресії проти мирного населення: попросив сприяти у звільненні полоненого мера Мелітополя та місцевих громадських діячів. #StopRussia

"We talked about the aggression of the Russian Federation and the prospects for peace talks. We must stop repressions against the civilian population: I asked for assistance in releasing the captured mayor of Melitopol and local civic activists", - wrote Zelenskyy.
Earlier, the American portal Axios wrote that Bennet had allegedly told Zelenskyy to accept Russia's proposals and practically capitulate by fulfilling its demands.
The Office of the President of Ukraine later commented on this information, noting that, on the other hand, "Russia is requested to assess the events more adequately".
