The decisions of the NSDC and the Presidential Decree to ban negotiations with the Russian Federation were directed against internal collaborators, they do not apply to Zelensky himself.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky stated this during a press conference.
According to Zelensky, rumors that he cannot negotiate with the Russian dictator Putin through the appropriate decree – these are narratives of the Russian Federation.
The President explained that he signed such a decree at a time when Ukraine received many ultimatums from Putin.
“It began with how people Mr. Medvedchuk (Viktor Medvedchuk – ed.), Novinsky (Sergey Novinsky – Ed.)
The head of state said that it was all these people who spoke with Putin and tried to represent the interests of Ukraine. And so that there was no separatism, he signed such a decree.
Zelensky said that in his decree he actually confirmed what the Constitution is about – no one but the president can negotiate on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine with the leader of Russia and other countries.
“Therefore, Putin’s narrative that I have to cancel something there is a narrative exclusively of the Russian Federation. I can’t forbid myself and forbid it, ”he added.
We will remind, during the visit to Kiev on May 10, the leaders of the “decisive” coalition made a demand for Russia from May 12 to go for an unconditional ceasefire for 30 days.
Russian dictator Vladimir Putin made a address on May 11, in which he refused to stop the fire, and suggested negotiations in Turkey on May 15.
In response to Putin’s proposal, President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed his readiness for negotiations, but stressed that the primary condition should be a complete and long cease ceasefire from the Russian Federation, starting on May 12.
Special Representative Trump Kit Kellogo responded to Putin’s refusal to stop the fire, saying that the United States was demanding to initially introduce a truce.
However, Donald Trump has strictly insisted that Ukraine would take part in negotiations with the Russian Federation, which Putin wants to spend on May 15 in Turkey. To at least understand what he offers.
Then Zelensky agreed to negotiate, but suddenly decided to go to Turkey himself and called on Putin to do the same.
