[Global Times special correspondent in Russia Xiao Xinxin Liu Yupeng] On the 19th local time, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov said in an interview that Russian President Putin has made it clear that "any negotiations are impossible" after Ukraine's "attack and invasion" of Kursk Oblast. On the same day, Ukrainian President Zelensky said that the Ukrainian army has controlled 1,250 square kilometers of Russian territory and 92 settlements in Kursk, saying that "Ukraine is achieving its strategic goals." He also urged the international community to organize the second "Peace Summit" this year, saying that "we must work with our partners to force Russia to achieve peace." At present, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has lasted for nearly two and a half years. The conflict has led to high oil prices and inflation in many countries in Europe and even the world, and the economy has fallen into trouble. Recently, there have been reports that Turkey, Qatar and other countries have been mediating, hoping that Russia and Ukraine can hold peace talks. Indian Prime Minister Modi will visit Ukraine on the 23rd, and Bloomberg News of the United States said that he will "deliver information" between Russia and Ukraine. Russia's Izvestia newspaper quoted Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko on the 19th as saying that if Kiev and Moscow do not sit down at the negotiation table, like in Kursk, the situation will only escalate and eventually lead to destruction. "The right thing to do is to start again from where Istanbul (negotiations) left off. This is a real opportunity."
