Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has again called on Russian President Volodymyr Putin to engage in dialogue. He agrees to seek compromises, including on NATO, but is not going to surrender. Source: Zelensky in an interview with the American TV channel ABC News Details: When asked whether Ukraine is ready to meet Russia's demands to end the war, change the Constitution and refuse to join NATO; to recognize Crimea as Russian ;, and so-called "LNR" / "DNR" independent, - Zelensky told that won't go on capitulation. Direct speech: "First of all, I am ready for dialogue, but we are not ready for capitulation. Because it's not about me, it's about the people who elected me. As for NATO, I cooled down to this issue after we realized that NATO was not ready to accept Ukraine. The Alliance is afraid of contradictory things and confrontation with Russia. " Details: Zelensky noted that Ukraine does not want to be a country that "asks for something on its knees." "We are not going to be such a country and I do not want to be such a president," he added.
Direct speech: "I'm talking about security guarantees. I think the points about the temporarily occupied territories and unrecognized republics that are not recognized by anyone but Russia… we can discuss and find a compromise on how these territories will live. It is important to me how people who want to be part of Ukraine will live in these territories. Who in Ukraine will say that they want to accept them? The question is more complicated than recognition. This is another ultimatum. But we are not ready to accept ultimatums. What you need: Putin should start talking, start a dialogue, instead of living in an information bubble. I think that's where he is - and he doesn't know the real situation."
