Starting any negotiations without Ukraine will be a loss – the President

The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said that it is impossible to speak with the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin as equals, because he only understands the language of power. Zelensky said this during a meeting with representatives of the International Media Council, writes UNN.

Zelensky is sure that Putin does not want Ukraine to remain a strong and independent state with security guarantees. Therefore, it is necessary to put pressure on him, and not to communicate as equals.

“I don’t really believe it, that today in his head there is an understanding of how to get out of this war so that Ukraine remains a strong, independent Ukraine with security guarantees. He doesn’t want that, I’m sure, but that he has some kind of vision exit,” the President noted.

The question is not to start any negotiations without Ukraine, because this is a loss. And the second story, don’t start with “what do you want?”, “what do you offer?”. That is, Putin cannot be subjectivized in this story. He violated everything, he is guilty. He must know that he has violated, made a mistake, etc. But you can’t stop him just like that, and you have to speak from a position of strength. Because, if you start talking with him on an equal footing, I think that this is a loss for Ukraine

We will remind

The teams of the presidents of Ukraine and the USA are working on organizing a meeting between Zelenskyi and Trump. A specific date for the meeting has not yet been set, but negotiations are ongoing.
