He added that domestic issues in the US will become even more relevant for American negotiators.
According to the president, it is desirable for Ukraine that the USA does not withdraw from the negotiations, and the Russians also need the Americans to stay.
“As for the Americans, they will probably have another priority – the Congress. And we understand with you that they will devote all their time to internal processes – elections, changing attitudes in their society. Elections are definitely more important to them,” Zelenskyy explained.
That is why the Americans want the end of the war by June and will do everything for it, he is convinced.
“In principle, we have long suggested that the American side have a really clear Sequence Plan. So that everyone understands what the parties are going for, at what moment, at what stages. So that the war does not drag on, because we really want to end the war and guarantee security,” Zelenskyy said.
The president was also asked whether it is possible to sign security guarantees with the US if the war ends by June.
“The American side said that one of the possibilities is for all the agreements to be signed around the same time. I’m not saying that it’s exactly at the same time, but they’re talking about the same time,” he answered.
Reuters reported on Friday that American and Ukrainian negotiators discussed the possibility of signing a peace agreement in March and holding elections in Ukraine in May.
The agency also reported that two key issues – regarding Donbass and ZNPP – continue to remain unresolved at the negotiations.
