Zelensky about his Calls to Putin

The Ukrainian President said that it was he who initiated the beginning of a dialogue with the Russian Federation. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky during a press marathon on Thursday, October 10, announced his readiness to take unilateral steps to normalize relations with Russia. “I called the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin, exchanged views. I made all the calls. I believe that this war should be ended,” head of state explained. According to Zelensky, the desire to end the conflict in the Donbas should be on both sides. There must be a desire to meet in any format. “We need to start talking about the cessation of hostilities, but the rhetoric should be different. It’s not necessary to say that we are not there, that this is your internal conflict, sort it out yourself and so on,” the president added, explaining that otherwise it would be difficult to achieve results. We remind that Zelensky said earlier that he was ready for direct negotiations with Putin on the issue of the release of captured and held Ukrainians. The President stressed that his main goal is to stop the war in Donbas.
