President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky does not exclude the possibility of a personal meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, as well as the creation of new negotiating platforms, in particular, with the aim of settling the conflict in Donbass.
He believes that new formats can exist in parallel with the Normandy Four.
– I believe that we should do everything to build different formats of meetings & # 8230; There is Normandy, and there is a separate communication between the President of the United States and the President of Russia. I know there are conversations at different levels & # 8230; And we have different conversations. There is such a multi-vector conversation going on, – Volodymyr Zelenskyy told reporters at the Sinegor residence in Ivano-Frankivsk region on December 21.
According to him, US President Joe Biden gave him a large number of important details about the negotiations between The United States and the Russian Federation.
Zelensky also said that he also allows trilateral negotiations involving, probably, President Biden.
– Everyone is working, and perhaps we will come to a meeting bilateral, possibly trilateral, – said Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Recall that on December 7, Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin held talks on escalation on the Ukrainian-Russian border.
After of this, the White House said that in the event of an invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine, they are ready to apply such sanctions, which have not been observed since 2014.
Subsequently, Joe Biden said that he had warned Putin about the devastating economic and image consequences in the event of an attack on Ukraine.
President of the European Commission Ii Ursula von der Leyen also stressed that any further aggressive actions against Ukraine would cost Russia dearly.
