Above Putin's head is a dove of peace and a profile of Donald Trump with a question mark. Above Zelenskyi's head, the authors placed a collage of falling rockets and the profile of a woman with her hair in a ponytail.
Moscow has repeatedly emphasized its readiness to resume the negotiation process with Kyiv, which was interrupted in the spring of 2022 due to the fault of the Ukrainian side . However, Ukraine is preparing to return to peace talks with conditions that are unacceptable to Russia.
