“I don’t want to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin, but I have to if we want to resolve this conflict in a diplomatic way “. This was stated during a press conference by the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, adding that “don’t be afraid” to see him. “Now I can’t meet him. First the weapons must be silent.” “I believe that all the guilty, whoever gave the order to kill will appear before the court. I believe it,” adds Zelensky. “No matter what the court is called, what matters is the result. How many people, how many years in prison they will have. We believe in the result. I see support in this direction. Many professionals have come to Kiev. Everyone understands who the culprits are “.
“That I would have liked to flee Ukraine is a rumor that has been repeated for 60 days, but it is not a possibility that I even remotely think of,” he added in response to a Polish journalist who asked him for a possible transfer to Poland.
“I respect the Polish people, you have already received 2.5 million Ukrainian citizens and your help has been particularly valuable. The Poles have been very welcoming neighbors and as regards a possible life in Poland – he continues – I have already made visits of I was in Poland, but I feel at home only in Kiev. In Poland I feel good, because I feel the cultural closeness, your welcome, the ability to support us, Poland has always helped us, it has also supplied weapons to Kiev and also in considerable quantities I will not leave Kiev until the war is over“.
MARIUPOL – “Mariupol is still under siege today,” says Zelensky. “Today was particularly difficult. There have been heavy air and ground bombing. The situation is dramatic“.” The messages from Russia continue to be ambiguous: it continues to send apparently conciliatory messages before particularly heavy bombings. ”
“I am convinced that we will win and show all our worth to Western countries”. Right now, he adds, “resistance is the only chance we have left”.
“I try to support the battalions in the steel plant, I try to make them understand that they are on the right side, to get weapons to break the siege of the city, but at this moment a favorable military release is not possible. At this moment we can only defend ourselves, defend the lives of the soldiers and civilians who are underground: this is the harsh reality. “” We Ukrainians will never give up. The Russians are behaving like the Nazis“This war will be written in the history books,” he adds.
Zelensky reiterated the threat to withdraw from peace talks with Russia in the event that the Ukrainian defenders still present in Mariupol are annihilated by Russian forces or if they organize bogus referendums in the occupied areas.
“If our people are annihilated in Mariupol, if a pseudo-referendum on independence is organized in Kherson, then Ukraine will withdraw from all negotiation processes,” he said.
ODESSA – “Today seven rockets were fired in Odessa. Eight died and 20 were injured. A 3-month-old baby died. This means that the war started when this baby was only one month old. They were bastards, they’re just bastards. We don’t want to spend time with them but we have to talk to them while this war lasts. What values are they talking about? Which Christian world? It’s the Middle Ages “.
BORN – “I cannot influence NATO, but I think it was a mistake that it has not accepted Ukraine in recent years. Ukraine would have strengthened the alliance“.” Nobody thought we would last more than 3 days and some European politicians were saying it aloud. We have succeeded in showing our strength to change this attitude towards us “, underlines Zelensky.
NEGOTIATIONS – “These are pre-requisites for entering into negotiations“with Russia” I am an either or “.” They are inadmissible proposals and therefore we have decided to take a step back. These proposals were intended to change our future. We have remained consistent since the beginning of the conflict. We have always kept our line“.” From the beginning we have said that we will not accept any ultimatum. “
THE RUSSIANS – “The Russian population is sadly being brainwashed by propaganda. This is a reality. I am sure that if the Russians knew the truth the Russian citizens would realize the importance of the negotiations. Even the Russians would be surprised at the amount of lies that have been poured out on them. This would happen if there was a truthful narrative of what is going on. ”
“Continue”, he continues, too “the rhetoric of provocations by Russia which attributes responsibility for the conflict to Kiev“.
The Russians “took Abkhazia, Donbass … but what did they build there? Who is happy there?”. “I don’t think they will stop alone. We have to stop them,” she adds. “We estimate that about 500 thousand Ukrainians have been deported either to separatist territories or to Russia”, she denounces.
WEAPONS – The Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky, has revealed that the head of American diplomacy, Antony Blinken, and the Secretary of Defense of Washington, Lloyd Austin, will go tomorrow in Kiev to talk about American arms deliveries. “We have strong expectations regarding this meeting because we have delivered lists that correspond to our needs and we will discuss them tomorrow,” Zelensky explained. This was reported by Bfmtv, specifying that the visit will also focus on the date of supplies.
POPE – “I am grateful to Pope Francis for his position. I met him when it came to Markiv. I would have liked him to come here, to help us unlock the humanitarian corridors in Mariupol. It is early to talk about his visit, but we are waiting for it. Many people trust him“. Kiev, he adds,” wants a truce, a ceasefire to save lives. All aid is also needed from the Holy See “.
UN – “We will welcome him, we have made sure that his position changes and that there is greater support in favor of Ukraine. You cannot have the same attitude towards the aggressor and the victim, and therefore towards Russia and the Ukraine. It is Russia that brought the war to Ukraine“This was declared, according to Bfmtv, by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, commenting on the visit of UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres next week first to Moscow, where he will see Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and will then be received by the President. Vladimir Putin will therefore go to Kiev. “The truth is 100% on Ukraine’s side, “Zelensky added. “He should first come to Ukraine, amidst the massacres, on the ground, to have a very precise perception of reality”.
