"How to Play Ping Pong": Zelensky explained why he doesn't want to talk to Putin (video)

To spread: negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin are like playing ping pong: often dialogue simply doesn't make sense. It is not always possible to get a clear answer. Kyiv prefers negotiations with other representatives of Russia at a briefing on the evening of March 28, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky. The President of Ukraine believes that the Russian leader is simply afraid to talk to him personally. Putin has no arguments for negotiations with the Ukrainian side.

"It's like Ping Pong is what Putin says. It is not always possible to get an answer. In principle, we would agree not to talk to him, but with someone who would represent Russia," Zelensky said. The head of state allows for negotiations with representatives of Russian business. "They have many regions, including some serious business areas. We would talk to them if they have a vision to finish the war.

If they are ready to go contrary to the fact that Putin does not want to finish the war," the head of state added. In addition, inside Russia there are opposition forces that Putin is now afraid. Zelensky hopes that with the support of Europe, the US and Ukraine, opposition representatives will agree to negotiate. We will remind, Ukraine and Russia with the participation of the United States have agreed to the energy truce. In Kiev, it is said that it should work from March 23-24.
