Zelensky spoke about the conditions of the meeting with Putin/OP
Vladimir Zelensky explained that he was ready to meet and negotiate with Vladimir Putin. The President of Ukraine has one condition on this matter.
The Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine told the relevant information during a speech at the Ukrainian House in Davos. It happened on May 23 – on the 89th day of the full-scale war that Russia launched against Ukraine.
Zelensky called the condition under which he is ready to talk with Putin
Vladimir Zelensky said that he was ready to meet with Vladimir Putin. However, only when the end of the war is discussed.
After all, the suspension of the war that Russia started against Ukraine will not happen without a meeting with the President of Russia. This is because they have such a decision-making structure in the state – nothing is decided without Putin.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy added that after everything that the Russians have done in Ukraine, there are definitely no great desires for these meetings. He also explained that he does not and will not have a great desire to meet with intermediaries.
Therefore, I do not perceive any meeting with anyone from Russia, except with the president of Russia. And only if there is only one question on the table – the end of the war. All. There is nothing else to talk about,” Zelensky explained.
He added that any war ends with diplomacy. He also added that for Ukrainians the war will end with the suffering of many families, and the loss of a large number of people, great losses of relatives and friends, and it will also be a tragedy for parents who outlive their children.
Pay attention! 21 May Volodymyr Zelensky explained during an interview that the war will end at the negotiating table, and its results will be formalized diplomatically. The President of Ukraine assured that the purpose of the conversation with Vladimir Putin would depend on the time of its holding.
