The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, stated that it is impossible to agree on the territories without direct contact with the Russian leader. He is ready to meet with Russia and the US, and Europe may join in the next stages of negotiations. The Ukrainian authorities open any formats for dialogue to end the war. President Volodymyr Zelenskyi said this in an interview Czech Radio Plus.
Zelenskyy explained that progress in resolving territorial issues requires a meeting of the “three” – Ukraine, Russia, and the United States. “We are open to a meeting in any format, with Russia and the USA. We would also like the presence of Europe, because part of our security guarantees are membership in the European Union, as well as a coalition of the willing,” the president said.
According to him, representatives of the European Union could join at some stage of the negotiations, but first it is necessary to establish direct contact with the leader of the Russian Federation. “We must be able to contact the Russian Federation, the leader of Russia in one form or another. Without such a format… our teams will not be able to agree on territorial issues,” Zelenskyy emphasized.
The President emphasized that Ukraine’s openness to dialogue is not limited to the format of the meeting: the country is ready to work on any formats that will help achieve peace and the return of territories.
Also, President Volodymyr Zelenskyi spoke about Ukrainian men of mobilization age who are abroad during the war. He emphasized: the more people return, the easier it will be for the army, especially for those who have been on the front lines for a long time without rotations.
