Zelensky said what he was talking about Putin

The President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said that in the event of a meeting with the ruler of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, it would be a complete ceasefire and exchange of all prisoners. On Tuesday, May 13, Zelensky said in an interview with Liberal.

“If I meet with him, we must come out with a political success – the end of the fire, the exchange of all prisoners for all prisoners or such,” he said.

At the same time, he emphasized that having a third party is important. According to him, the “Russians will not trust” Ukrainians and Ukrainians “will not trust the Russians.”

He believes that only external mediators can guarantee compliance with any agreements.

Zelensky emphasized that he asserted the need for reliable, balanced interventions, to be respected on both sides. In particular, he mentioned the United States as a possible guarantee of control mechanism.

“The existence of US president Donald Trump could encourage the Russian leader to arrive. If Putin did not come, it would be a complete defeat for him,” he said.

The President called for a new tough penalty against Russia, especially from the USA and the European Union.

Regarding the possible duration of the conflict, Zelensky replied: “No one knows how long it will last. But not ten years. Ukraine won’t stand … it’s expensive for everyone.”

Remember that Putin suggested direct negotiations with Ukraine in Turkey on Thursday, May 15, but said nothing about the ceasefire. In response, Zelensky said he would personally wait for Putin in Turkey.
