“Yes” to dialogue with Russia on compromise and “no” to capitulation, says Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky.
“First of all, I’m ready for dialogue, but we’re not ready to give up,” Zelensky said in an interview with ABC News. , that is, change of the Constitution, non-accession to NATO, recognition of Crimea as Russian and recognition of the independence of the so-called democrats of Donbas and Lugansk.
“Because it is not about me, but about the citizens who elected me. Regarding NATO, I have lost interest in this issue as we have realized that NATO is not ready to accept Ukraine. “The alliance is afraid of contradictions and confrontation with the Russian Federation,” he added.
He also noted that the Ukraine does not want to become a country that “begs on its knees and that we are not going to become such a country, I do not want to become such a president.”

“I’m talking about security guarantees. “I think we can discuss and find a compromise on the temporarily occupied territories and unrecognized democracies, which have not been recognized by anyone but the Russian Federation,” Zelensky said. He added that the key issue is how those who want to be part of Ukraine will live in these territories.
“What needs to be done is for Putin to start talking, to start a dialogue instead of living in an information bubble without oxygen. “I think he is there,” Zelenski said.
He also said that he considered Putin war criminal and that “all those who came to our land, all those who gave the orders… are all war criminals”.
“Believe me, I have addressed several Western leaders,” said Zelensky, who estimated that this war would not end so simply but would trigger a world war.
