THE TIMES OF ISRAEL: Prime Minister Naftali Bennett pushed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to accept an offer from Russian President Vladimir Putin, which would require Kyiv to make significant concessions in order to end Moscow’s invasion, the Walla news site reports.
Walla does not divulge the details of Putin’s offer, but previous reports from the news site said that Putin is demanding an independent Donbas region, but stopping short of regime change in Ukraine.
“If I were you, I would think about the lives of my people and take the offer,” Bennett told Zelensky during a phone call on Tuesday, according to a senior Ukrainian official who spoke to Walla on condition of anonymity.
Zelensky did not take well to the proposal, responding with a brief “I hear you.”
“Bennett has proposed that we surrender,” the senior Ukrainian official tells Walla. “We have no intention of doing so. We know that Putin’s proposal is just the beginning.” » | LIVEBLOG | Friday, March 11, 2022
