Volodymyr Zelenskyi stated, that he is ready to sit down at the negotiating table with the Russian president, but Putin is “afraid to talk to him” about the end of the war.
“Certainly, the USA, President Trump and the EU countries believe that diplomacy is impossible without Russia, without Putin, so I said that I am ready if we have an understanding of how this war will end for us. We are ready for diplomacy, I have no problems with it here.
The problem is that Putin, it seems to me, is afraid to talk to me about the end of the war in principle, I don’t know why, like an adult, he is afraid to be alone with another person without his quarrel. But nevertheless, I think Trump will be able to force him to end the war“, Zelensky noted.
The President emphasized the importance of sustainable peace with reliable security guarantees and announced the work on this with the American side:
“Nevertheless, we will work to achieve a common understanding and vision. Even if Russia does not like something, we need a common vision among our partners. And then we are ready for diplomacy.”
