There is no time for talks that do not bring results, the president noted.
Ukraine is ready to sit down at the negotiating table with Russia, but on the condition that the enemy really wants to end the war.
This was stated by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky in an interview with ZDF.
“We don’t have time for conversations that don’t work. We know exactly what we are doing. I emphasize that we have no doubts, and we are ready to speak only if the other side is ready to end the war,” the head of state said.
Earlier, Advisor to the Head of the Office of the President Mikhail Podolyak noted that Ukraine and the Russian Federation, of course, sit down at the negotiating table, but not today and not on the terms of the Russian Federation. He noted that Russia is promoting the position of the need for negotiations right now, because it has gathered all its resources in eastern Ukraine, where very intense hostilities are now taking place.
“They have a certain illusion that this is the moment when it is necessary to force Ukraine … through the European community and the elite, so that today we sit down at the negotiating table, because they have the illusion that they are at the peak of their readiness,” Podolyak said. .
