Kyiv/Moscow – According to its head of state, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukraine will not accept “Russian ultimatums” to end the war*. “Ukraine cannot accept a Russian ultimatum,” Zelenskyy said in a Monday night report from the news website Supilne published video interview. Russia’s aim is to “destroy” Ukraine.
War negotiations: According to Zelensky, Moscow wants to achieve “handover” of the cities of Mariupol, Kharkiv and Kyiv
Among other things, Moscow wants to achieve the “handover” of the cities of Mariupol, Kharkiv and Kyiv* by Ukraine, said Zelenskyj. But “neither the people in Kharkiv, nor those in Mariupol or Kyiv, nor I, the President,” could comply.
According to Zelenskyy, the Russian government is trying to dictate its demands to the Ukrainian side. The Russian delegation is pursuing the approach: “We’ll issue an ultimatum, here are the points, you fulfill them all and then we’ll end the war,” said Zelenskyy. However, Moscow will not achieve results this way.
Negotiations between Ukraine and Russia: Any “compromise” with Moscow to be presented to Ukrainians in referendum
The people of Ukraine are “united” in the face of the Russian war of aggression*, emphasized Zelenskyj. This is also visible in cities like Melitopol and Berdyansk, which are already occupied by Russia. Where Russian soldiers raised their flag, “they take people down,” the president said.
Addressing Russia, Zelenskyi said: “What do you want? Destroy us all.” Moscow’s ultimatums would only become reality “when we are no more”.
In addition, Zelenskyy announced that he would let his people decide on any possible “compromise” in the negotiations with Russia. The contents of a possible agreement could mean “historic” changes, said the head of state. The Ukrainian side will ultimately decide on this in a referendum.
