Negotiations with Putin, nuclear weapons and elections to Ukraine: what Zelensky Morgan told about

Volodymyr Zelensky stressed that he was ready to sit with Vladimir Putin at the negotiating table, if necessary to complete the war in Ukraine. "If it is the only configuration in which we can bring peace to the citizens of Ukraine and not lose people, we will certainly agree to the meeting. I will not be kind to him, I consider him an enemy and, in the right, I think he thinks me The enemy is too, "Zelensky said.

Discussing the security guarantees that the event should provide Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted that joining NATO is a long process that will stretch for decades. Instead, according to the President of Ukraine, it is worth talking about nuclear weapons and missiles that will be able to protect Ukrainians from nuclear weapons and missiles. "Then let them give us nuclear weapons or give us missiles in such quantities that we can stop Russia," Zelensky said.

He stressed that the event should return nuclear warheads to Ukraine, provide missile complexes, strengthen the Ukrainian army, send the Western military contingent "to those parts of our country where we want a stable situation. " Volodymyr Zelensky stated that there can be no compromise sovereignty, so Ukraine never recognizes the occupied territories in Russian. "We cannot return all our territories. We are adequate people. We cannot lose millions of people as a result that is not yet guaranteed.

Therefore, we cannot break the oath given to those who gave life for us in this war. We cannot violate the constitution And to recognize the occupied territories by Russian. He also stressed that the support of international partners is not enough to completely displace the Russians from the Ukrainian territory. However, in the future, these territories can be returned to both military and diplomatic ways.

"We will return the territory - it can be a combined approach: here the military on the battlefield, as our military do, somewhere in diplomatic way. But still we will return our land because we are right and we have not broken any aspect in international law and in moral law, "Zelensky said. According to Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukraine has lost more than 45 thousand soldiers killed in three years of a full -scale invasion, and the Russians - about 350 thousand.

"As for our losses, the exact figures are very important to us. 45 100 people have been killed and about 390,000 are wounded," Zelensky said. He said that the number of injuries is greater than the number of injured because there are people who received several injuries. The President of Ukraine stressed that the Russians have lost about 350,000 soldiers killed, and another 50-70 thousand invaders are considered missing. "They (Russians, ed.

) Have about 600-700 thousand wounded, approximately one to two, because field medicine is weaker than ours, and they do not bring wounded back if a person is injured in the battlefield, he stays there, Therefore, the estimates are about that, but they are very clearly true, ”Zelensky said. He also explained that there were problems with statistics on prisoners and missing people.

"These are really thousands, and how many of them have disappeared, and how many are in captivity, I do not know the exact amount yet, but we are working on it," Zelensky said. The President of Ukraine stressed that there can be no elections during the war in the country, as this is envisaged by the current Ukrainian legislation and the Constitution. In addition, military and millions of citizens in temporarily occupied territories and abroad will not be able to vote in the elections.

"Undoubtedly, the war will end, the hot phase of the war will end, and when the martial law is over, then elections will certainly be appointed. This is necessary. We protect democracy, so it is necessary," Zelensky said. He also recalled that 73% of voters voted for him in 2019, so he was always "open to any election. " In an interview with Pierce Morgan, Volodymyr Zelenskyy also stated that on February 4, Volodymyr Zelenskyy explained why he was not on the inauguration of Donald Trump.
