Zelenskyy wants to talk to Putin about territorial issues and causes of war
In the event of possible negotiations with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy intends to raise the issue of territorial issues and discuss the roots and motives for Russia's war against Ukraine.
The president said this in an interview with Fox News, according to Censor.NET, citing Ukrinform.
"I think that is important. I think (I would speak - Ed.) the question of territories, the question of reasons of this war, why he (Putin - ed.) occupied us. I think it would be useful to speak. Not because I want - I don't want to speak with him, he is an enemy for me. But I think it's important to speak only for one thing. We have to understand we don't want the third war from Russia," Zelenskyy said.
The president stressed that he does not trust Putin, and the Kremlin leader does not trust him.
"My feeling that his goal was occupation of all out territory, of all our country. And I really want to hear and to see that he will not come again," Zelenskyy said.
