President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Kremlin head Vladimir Putin is negotiating with Ukraine only because of the threat of new sanctions. In addition, it is important for him to isolate Kyiv.
The Head of State reported this in an interview for Bild .
According to Zelensky, it is important to show the President of the United States Donald Trump that “there is a diplomatic bridge between Ukraine and the Russian Federation.” When asked why, the President answered as follows:
“In order not to impose sanctions against Russia (as long as negotiations are ongoing. Because Putin can always say – ed):” We talk to each other! If sanctions are imposed, there will be no talks anymore, ”the head of state explained.
He also added that the Russians pursued the second goal. The Russian Federation wanted “dialogue without Europeans and without Americans” to isolate Ukraine.
“The lasting war without the support of partners (Ukraine, ed.) Is the ideal option for Putin. He will not withstand a long war with partners and sanctions, ”the President said.
Zelensky noted that Trump sees that the Russian side is “not quite open and honest about war.” According to the Ukrainian leader, Russia is “just lying Trump.”
He also said that he accepts the fact that the US President has repeatedly criticized not only Putin but also himself. Zelensky explained that it would treat it normally if it brought Ukraine closer to the end of the war. At the same time, he repeated his belief.
“In my opinion, Putin does not understand anything but power. And America has this power. And I very much hope that America sees and understands it, ”the President explained.
In addition, the Ukrainian leader spoke of sanctions. He believes that the main mistake of restrictions is that they were implemented too slowly. This, in turn, gave Putin a chance to adapt. In particular, it is an economy and especially the military industry.
“Putin feels that his economy is now suffering. But he wants to win more time before stringent sanctions are imposed because he will be able to last for a while, ”Zelensky said, noting that sanctions should be!
In addition, the President stressed that the larger the support of Ukraine, the less Ukrainians will die.
“People are not firewood that we throw in the fire. We do not treat our people as the Russians do, ”the head of state added.
