Zelenskyy on the most difficult issues of negotiations: ceasefire and territories

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that the most difficult issues in the negotiation process will be the ceasefire and the issue of territories, as the Russians do not want to end this war. Zelenskyy said this, reports UNN.

I think that the American side is talking to the "Russians" about territories. We are concerned that the United States of America has influence on Russia, and not vice versa. This is the most important thing for us. President Trump has enough strength, tools, sanctions, etc. Various tools to influence "Russians", on Putin" 

The head of state stressed that Ukraine is concerned about the issue of its discussion without its participation, in particular the issue of territories.

We are concerned about the issue when they discuss something about us without us. It worries us and we tell our partners about it. But of course, we see it and hear it in messages, in the mass media, from the statements of officials, which we have already talked about today. And it is clear that they (the Russians - ed.) are raising the issue of territory. There were no talks with us about territories, because they (the Americans - ed.) know that this is a painful issue for us 

Zelenskyy added that the most difficult issues now are the ceasefire and territory. The reason for this is the reluctance of the Russians to end this war.

The most difficult issues will be the ceasefire and the issue of territories, because the "Russians" do not want to end this war. Two different questions and one reason. It will be a difficult dialogue, but it will be
