Negotiation Final: Last year Zelensky was to meet Putin - Arestovich (video)

He told about it during a conversation with TV presenter Vasily Golovanov on his YouTube channel. According to Arestovich, he initially also participated in the negotiations and was also supposed to be a delegation from Ukraine. However, after in Belarus he was initiated by a criminal case for calling for terrorism, the Russian side categorically demanded that it be excluded from the group.

He also noted that at first Russia had a large number of requirements for Ukraine, including reducing the numbers of the Armed Forces to 50,000, non -aligned status, granting the Russian language to the Russian language, as well as recognizing the right to Crimea and Donbass by Russia. However, when the Russian Federation was realized that the Blitzkrig did not succeed, the number of requirements decreased dramatically. "The only thing they insisted on is the reduction of the armed forces.

The President said," No. They do not even be pleased. "And then they agreed that this issue remains in meeting with leaders. Usually, when the leaders meet, 90% of the document is ready," Arestovich said. However, after Ukrainian troops and journalists came to Bucha, they saw evidence of military crimes of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, Zelensky refused to meet Putin. "Bucha opened. And the President said," I generally leave the negotiations.

"The Western partners persuaded not to close the option. But she still closed de facto," Arestovich said. Recall that on April 10, CNN journalists stated that Zelensky ordered to beat in February on the clusters of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in the Rostov region. According to journalists, one of 53 "fused" documents shows that the US was spying under the President of Ukraine and knew about his plans to strike places of deployment of Russian military in the Rostov region.
