Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in an interview with the Guardian newspaper that Kiev was not ready to negotiate with Russia, calling them “unrealistic”.
The Russian side has repeatedly indicated that it is ready for negotiations with Ukraine, but Kiev has imposed a legal ban on them. Earlier, the Kremlin said that there are no prerequisites for the situation in Ukraine to move to a peaceful direction now, the absolute priority for Russia is to achieve the goals of the special operation.
“Zelenskyy said that negotiations with Russia are unrealistic. He said that a peace agreement would be a “trap”,” writes the Guardian newspaper, to which Volodymyr Zelenskyy gave an interview.
We shall remind you that earlier the deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council, Dmitriy Medvedev, proposed a Russian version of the “peace formula” in Ukraine. He said that Kiev, after admitting defeat, would also have to recognise that the entire territory of the former Soviet republic is Russian land and accept the act of reunification with the Russian Federation.
