"I will not talk to those who put out ultimatums": Zelensky about negotiations with the Russian Federation

According to the President of Ukraine, negotiations with Moscow are possible only after the full liberation of the Ukrainian territories. All peaceful arrangements will only give a respects for the Kremlin. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky interviewed CNN, in which he said that negotiations with the Russian Federation are impossible while they speak the language of ultimatum.

When asked Farid Zakaria, whether negotiations with the Russian Federation were possible, the Ukrainian president said that negotiations with the Russian Federation will not take place in an ultimate form. The Kremlin does not have the desire to negotiate. Some countries want Ukraine to stop and negotiate such as Minsk format. However, in fact, these are empty conversations that will only give a break for the Kremlin. "Not today. I do not see the desire to be constructive on their part.

Their ultimatums, I don't care who utters them. This is my principle, I will not talk to those who put forward ultimatums," Zelensky said. Also, President Zelensky said that Ukraine will not just stand and do nothing. Russia is trying to "absorb Ukraine step by step. " The Armed Forces of Ukraine will gradually conquer the territories, Ukraine will not talk to the Russian Federation until it goes to its borders.

Even after the Ukrainian territories, the negotiations will have to be conducted, as the Russian Federation will remain a neighbor for Ukraine. We will remind, the expression-minister of Italy Silvio Berlusoni proposed his mediation between the Russian Federation and Ukraine for negotiations. He proposes to connect Angela Merkel to the process. Earlier in the Russian Federation stated that Putin and Zelensky were not interested in the meeting.
