Zelensky denies that Macron, Scholz and Draghi persuaded him to negotiate with Putin
One of the authoritative German publications stated that during the visit of the leaders of France, Germany, Italy and Romania, they persuaded Vladimir Zelensky to resume negotiations with Vladimir Putin.
Representative of the President of Ukraine Serhiy Nikiforov stressed that this information is not true at all. Foreign politicians did not force Zelensky to do anything. And Ukraine itself will decide when it should continue negotiations.
Nikiforov added that foreign politicians are also interested in Ukraine resuming negotiations when the position is most advantageous for this. Therefore, they continue to provide military, economic, political and defense support.
