Zelensky commented on negotiations with Russia and the weakening of the West.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky announced that three points of the plan are already ready to talk in any format with Russia. He said this during a meeting with journalists on Friday, September 20.
According to Zelensky, Ukraine is actively working on a plan that will be the start and foundation. "We declared 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 it is Russia that is fighting against Ukraine. There cannot be an end to the war without one of the sides," said the leader of Ukraine.
At the same Time, Zelensky emphasized that Ukraine is actively working on the plan, and three points are already prepared. Online meetings have taken place, "there will still be offline and online meetings." "And, as we said at the beginning of November, the entire plan will be ready. This will be the start and 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 specifics will be clear, and not just generally — we don't want anything and will continue the war," the president explained.
In addition, Zelensky expressed the opinion that today Russia simply wants to continue the war. Among other things, he believes that today there is a global danger in the weakening of the West and the strengthening of the antagonists of Western politics, the EU, and the USA. "Partners often say — "we will be with Ukraine until its victory" — now we clearly show how Ukraine can win, and what is needed for this. Very specific things. We will do all this today, while all the officials who wish for Ukraine's victory hold official positions… There is a global danger in the weakening of the West and the strengthening of the antagonists of Western politics, the EU, and the USA. The main danger is in the polarization of the world. In principle, this is Russia's strategy," he emphasized.
According to Zelensky, the victory plan can contribute to more productive future diplomatic meetings with the Russian Federation. "If this doesn't happen, we will live as we live and fight. But we definitely know that the world will then be undoubtedly divided. Undoubtedly, there will be 2 platforms. One will support Ukraine, and the other will pretend to support, so that Russia and Ukraine sit at the negotiation table. Although, in principle, they will do everything to push towards certain compromises…", added the president.
Recall that Zelensky announced negotiations in the United States and a new plan to strengthen Ukraine.
