Kyiv has already prepared three points of the plan for talking in any format with Russia. Online meetings with the Russian side have already taken place, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said.
We have stated that we are ready to see Russia at the second Summit because all our allies, including our closest ones, who are on our side and always against Russian aggression, have all said that Russia should be at the second Summit. Because Russia is fighting against Ukraine. There cannot be an end to the war without one of the parties, Interfax-Ukraine quotes the president as saying.
Zelensky added that Ukraine is actively working on the plan, three points have already been prepared. According to him, meetings were held with representatives of Russia in an online format, “there will be more meetings offline and online.”
At the same time, he believes that Russia now wants to continue the war.
We said that we are ready to see Russia at the second Summit, because all our allies, including the closest ones, who are on our side and always against Russian aggression, all said that Russia should be at the second Summit. Because Russia is fighting against Ukraine. There cannot be an end to the war without one of the parties. And, as we said in early November, the entire plan will be ready. This will be the start and the foundation for talking in any format with Russia. In any format, with any of its representatives, because there will be a plan and something to show. If they don’t like it, their reaction to the specifics will be clear, and not just in general — we don’t want anything and will continue the war, — the head of state explained.
Zelensky said that his team is actively preparing for negotiations in America, which will be attended by President Biden and representatives of both parties in Congress.
We are also counting on meetings with two candidates for the presidency of the United States. The President of Ukraine said this in his address to Ukrainians on September 20.
We will present a very specific plan on how Ukraine can not only survive in this war, not just maintain the level of resistance as it is now, but now strengthen itself – strengthen itself in such a way as to really bring a just peace closer, to really bring victory closer. Ukraine is counting on this support. Very much. And this is fair. Because when one nation wins the battle for its independence and observance of international law, the whole world will win. And this is exactly how it should be, Zelensky said.
