Direct Language: “Today, several partners have said that the armistice – the most important thing for us, not America, no one to go to the Russian “but”. CEASEFIRE (ceasefire – ed.) Should not go with “but”. Because it’s CEASEFIRE for 30 days. It is not eternity, it is 30 days, where all parties are given the opportunity to demonstrate the speed and desire to end the war or vice versa …

We agreed on how we see it. There is a representative of the United States who met with Rus. They talked about something, coordinated some positions. Let’s see what will happen next. I think we will have coordination with the US in the coming days about the next steps. If the Russians do not agree with President Trump’s position, we believe that President Trump’s position will be clear, rigid, straightforward to Putin. ”
Details: Commenting on the US Special Representative for the Middle East, Steve Witcoff to Moscow, Zelensky noted that Ukraine cannot know 100%, which was discussed there.
“But we understand that there will be many different” but “to put Ukraine in a weaker situation. And here is a very important position of America. If CEASEFIRE, then without any” but “.
Zelensky also believes that the ceasefire can last for more than 30 days, but during this time it is necessary to develop an agreement on the next steps to end the war.
“Maybe not 30 days, maybe a little more. But it is very important that there is one or another term in the agreements on silence. Then it will reduce the opportunity to play in the eternal frozen conflict,” the President said.
According to him, the issue of control over the territories is “complex”, and should be resolved then through negotiations, and he would not advise to associate this issue with the first step, “because it is a delaying the process in a long way.”
Zelensky said that at a meeting in Saudi Arabia, US representatives did not set up additional conditions for Ukraine to end the war.
“There were no additional conditions at a meeting in Saudi Arabia. Because all real people were happy that the two countries were together, it was a serious step forward. The second is that Ukraine went to such a serious diplomatic step. And also all were very happy. Let America make Putin take the first step.”
