President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that he is ready for any negotiations with russia, but would like to be in a strong position. He also emphasized that russian dictator vladimir putin is not ready for direct negotiations. Zelenskyy said this during a press conference, reports UNN.
He (putin - ed.) is not ready for direct negotiations. I am not afraid of any format of negotiations... I am ready for any format of negotiations. It's just that putin wants war. What can a person who wants war say at peace talks? I am not the person who will sit and be silent, or swallow all his narratives
The head of state stated that russians simply want to "eat" Ukraine, and Ukrainians need to defend themselves and defend their rights.
Therefore, you can't just: "Listen, let's talk?" I simply have nothing to talk to him about. We have one goal – to end the war, to force him. If we are weak in these negotiations... He will threaten in any case and do everything possible to make Ukraine lose its sovereignty. We cannot allow this. I am ready for any negotiations, but I would like to be in a strong position
