Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has noted the efforts of the Prime Minister of Israel to find ways to peace.

The Israeli "Prime Minister, Minister [Naftali] Bennett, is trying to find a negotiating path with Russia, and we are grateful for every effort for us to start talking with Russia, sooner or later," Zelensky said in a video address early on Monday.

"Possibly in Jerusalem. This is the right place to find peace, if this is possible," Zelensky said.

Zelensky recalled that he spoke on Sunday in the Israeli Knesset, but, he noted, "spoke on your behalf with the people of Israel, who understand us as free people of free people."

He said, "Israel has its interests and a strategy of protecting its citizens, we understand all that," Zelensky said.
