President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that he is ready for any negotiations with russia, but would like to be in a strong position. He also emphasized that russian dictator vladimir putin is not ready for direct negotiations. Zelenskyy said this during a press conference, APA reports quoting UNN.
"He (putin - ed.) is not ready for direct negotiations. I am not afraid of any format of negotiations... I am ready for any format of negotiations. It's just that putin wants war. What can a person who wants war say at peace talks? I am not the person who will sit and be silent, or swallow all his narratives," said Zelenskyy.
