The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, has stated that he will be ready for negotiations with Russia, if they proceed from a "strong position". For that, Ukraine should receive the necessary security guarantees from the USA.
He said this in an interview with Bloomberg within the framework of the World Economic Forum in Davos. "If (ed.: US President) Trump can guarantee us that strong and irreversible security for Ukraine, then we will move on the diplomatic path.
I understand that it is impossible to end this war diplomatically without Russia, it is simply impossible," said Zelensky. According to the President of Ukraine, the withdrawal of Russian troops at least until February 24, 2022 would be a fair condition for the start of peace talks. the launch of a large-scale attack on the existing line. Zelensky also noted that in possible negotiations, Ukraine should work with the United States and other allies, and also emphasized that the end of the war in Ukraine should be "Trump's victory, not Putin's".
According to the president of Ukraine, it is impossible to allow possible peace agreements to allow Putin to resume aggression after some time. Earlier, Zelensky advocated deploying peacekeepers in Ukraine, particularly from Western countries, as a guarantee of non-resumption of the conflict. Donald Trump called on Vladimir Putin to "make a deal" and end the war. According to him, if Russia refuses, the USA will impose new duties and sanctions on Moscow.
