According to Zelensky, if negotiations are possible, the agreed agreement will not be permanent, because the Russian president has a habit of creating “frozen conflicts” on Russia’s borders (for example, in Georgia) not as an end in itself, but because his goal is to “restore the Soviet Union”.
Ukraine’s president believes those who want to talk to the man in the Kremlin are “deceiving themselves,” like Western leaders who signed an agreement with Adolf Hitler in Munich in 1938 only to watch him invade Czechoslovakia.
“The mistake is not in diplomacy. The mistake is diplomacy with Putin. He negotiates only with himself,” Zelensky is sure.
Zelensky about the war in Ukraine
In the same interview, Zelensky said that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin does not understand that he is losing in a long war. At the same time, the president himself does not want to think about a long war, but is preparing for it.
Recently, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky said that Ukraine is ready to “fight for a long time without losing people.” According to him, the main thing is “to minimize casualties, as with the example of Israel.” In June 2022, the Ukrainian president stated his desire for Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine to end by the end of the year, before the onset of winter.
