““How to talk directly with ballistic missiles? It’s just talking to rockets and terrorists today ” – President”, – WRITE: www.radiosvoboda.org
“As for direct negotiations, I honestly said – I am not afraid of any variant and format of negotiations with the Russians – with mediation, without mediation, with the US, with Europe. It is desirable that any negotiations are subject. How to talk directly with ballistic missiles? It’s just talking to rockets and terrorists today, ”Zelensky replied.
The President recalled that Ukraine is ready for an unconditional ceasefire, and then you can sit at the negotiation table: “But for this it is necessary that the Russians are not just killers but were ready for diplomacy,” he added.
In recent weeks, there have been several meetings, phone calls between Ukraine and the US, also separately between the Russian Federation and the US on ceasefire.
In particular, on March 11, US representatives managed to obtain from Ukraine consent to a 30-day truce. Putin did not discard this idea, but put forward his conditions.
In February, the President of Ukraine said he was ready to sit at the negotiation table with Russian President Vladimir Putin, “if it is the only option.”
Russian President Vladimir Putin said earlier that he did not consider Vladimir Zelensky to the legitimate President of Ukraine, so in his opinion, Zelensky cannot sign a peace agreement. Zelensky, commenting on his words, replied that Putin was “afraid of negotiations.”
