President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that German Chancellor Olaf Scholz's call to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin was a Pandora's box. The Head of State also emphasized that there will be no "Minsk-3" and that Ukraine needs real peace, UNN reports.
"About one of today's news stories. Chancellor Scholz told me he was going to call Putin. Olaf's call, in my opinion, is a Pandora's box. Now there may be other conversations, other calls. Just a lot of words. And this is exactly what Putin has been wanting for a long time: it is extremely important for him to weaken his isolation, the isolation of Russia, and to conduct ordinary negotiations that will not end in anything. The way he has been doing for decades. This allowed Russia to change nothing in its policy, to do nothing in essence, and this is exactly what led to this war. We understand all these challenges now. We know how to act. And we want to warn you: There will be no "Minsk-3" - we need real peace," Zelensky said in his evening video address.
