Zelenskyy explained that the only model that can be used so far to find solutions with Russia on territorial integrity, energy, and free navigation is the example of the grain corridor, where Turkey and the UN signed separate agreements with Russia and Ukraine.

So far, only one  model can be used to find solutions with Russia on territorial integrity, energy and free navigation, based on the example of the grain corridor, when Turkey and the UN signed an agreement  separately with Russia and Ukraine. This was stated  in an interview  by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy with Trudy Rubin, a columnist for The Philadelphia Inquirer, according to a correspondent of UNN

Asked whether it was possible under any possible circumstances for Ukraine to hold talks with Putin, Zelenskyy replied:

"Ukraine can find a model in which solutions can be found according to  relevant documents, steps, and modalities. Such a model was first applied on the example of the grain corridor, when Ukraine negotiated not with the blocking hand of Russia, but we negotiated with the UN and Turkey. They, in turn, took the responsibility to negotiate with us in a trilateral agreement, and then sign the corresponding agreement with the Russian side. Yes,  it worked, two mirror agreements between the UN and Turkey, and a separate agreement with Russia." 

He noted that the grain corridor had been working for quite some time. 

"And in the same way, in territorial integrity, in energy and in free navigation, a corresponding model can be used, when countries from different continents, their representatives prepare a solution to a particular crisis, and then, if this document suits Ukraine, it should be discussed with representatives of the Russian Federation. So far, we have only such a model," Zelensky explained. 

Addendum

The head of the President's Office, Andriy Yermak, said that at the second Peace Summit, Russia may present a common vision of peace, but will not sign an agreement "a la Minsk.
