Zelenski without intentions to yield
The Ukrainian president recalled Tuesday from Turkey how in the first year of Invasion Russia raised an agreement to end the war in which he demanded Ukraine to reduce his army, to renounce the occupied territories and access the installation of a proruso government in kyiv.
“And I have the impression that the same negotiations are now taking place, that the same tone is repeated but between representatives of Russia and US representatives,” he said.
The Ukrainian president added that “if at the most difficult moment” he did not yield “to all the ultimatums” of Russia will either do it now.
Zelenski remarked that, just as he did not reach agreements in direct contacts with Kremlin representatives who held in the first year of the war in Belarus and Turkey, he will now not accept them now that Russian leaders meet with US leaders.
