Scholtz and Macron urged Zelensky to think about peace talks with the Russian Federation - WSJ
According to journalists, Germany, France and the United Kingdom think about establishing closer relations between NATO and Ukraine. In this way, they can bow to Kiev to a dialogue with the Russian Federation, as they doubt that Ukraine will be able to liberate all its territories. "We constantly repeat that Russia should not win, but what does it mean? If the war with such intensity lasts for a long time, Ukraine's losses will become unbearable.
And no one believes that they will be able to return Crimea," - said a high -ranking French official. Persons informed of the conversation of Zelnsky, Macron and Scholz for dinner in the Elysee Palace, said that French President had pointed to the Ukrainian colleague that he was a great warlord, but he would have to go to diplomacy and make difficult decisions.
The authors of the publication also mentioned the speech of Zelensky, in which he mentioned how he called on the world leaders to put pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin before a full -scale invasion. According to Zelensky, the crimes committed by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in the last year in Ukraine make such negotiations. "Now we cannot do this," the President of Ukraine said.
It should be reminded that on February 23, US Secretary of Political Affairs Victoria Nutland announced that the United States was ready to negotiate with Russia on the situation of Ukraine only on the basis of the "formula of peace" proposed by President Vladimir Zelensky at the G-20 summit in Indonesia.
