According to the Ukrainian President, he received a clear answer

Putin will soon die: Zelensky gave an interview about negotiations, plan "B" and prospects for joining NATO

According to the Ukrainian President, he received a clear answer "no" from Joe Biden to the question of Ukraine's accession to NATO. An alternative to the Alliance membership may be strong security guarantees, the head of state added.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky stated that he did not receive information about Washington negotiations with Moscow other than from the press, the plan "B" for Ukraine in case of refusal to enter NATO will strengthen its own army, and work on the plan of completion of the war in Ukraine with the Presidential Administration will US Trump's US should start in February. He said this in an interview with The Economist.

Volodymyr Zelensky stated that unlike the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin, he has no illness related to the authorities, and that he will not allow the Russian dictator to win. "I love life and freedom. So I fight for freedom. And I have time, and he is not. He will die soon," the President of Ukraine said.

According to him, the forces of Ukraine's defense are restraining 1 million Russian military, and if they stop doing it - Putin "will turn around and occupy the whole of Europe. " Zelensky also said that there are no stringent laws in Ukraine as in the Russian Federation, and despite the martial law "our policy is much softer.

" Volodymyr Zelensky said that US President Joe Biden answered "No" on his question about Ukraine's accession to NATO while discussing the possibility of transferring Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine. "I said, 'Ok. Then what are the security guarantees? Can I return nuclear weapons? "No. " Can I be in NATO? "No," the Ukrainian president said.

According to him, NATO's alternative may be strong security guarantees: twice the Ukrainian army, military equipment and weapons, including long -acting missiles and Patriot anti -aircraft missile systems. In his opinion, Europe can help funding and the United States directly with weapons. Volodymyr Zelensky expressed confidence that the US plan for the end of the war in Ukraine is not yet ready because it cannot be "purely American" without consultation with Ukraine.

According to the Ukrainian President, Donald Trump administration has work, and full work on the plan of completion of the war in Ukraine will begin in February. "I think President Trump has internal problems in the United States, and I think it's his priority. At least that's what we see in the open access, I don't have other information," Zelensky said. Also, the Ukrainian leader announced a meeting with US Vice President J. D.

Vance during the Munich Security Conference, which will last from February 14 to 16. Zelensky assured that Putin was not going to finish the war. He cited data from Ukrainian intelligence that in addition to mobilized, 140,000 Kremlin will prepare another 150,000 soldiers in 2025 and send them for military exercises to Belarus.

Volodymyr Zelensky noted that the ceasefire is possible only as part of the completion of the hot phase of the war under the conditions of strong security guarantees "without guaranteeing security, ceasefire only to come Putin in two months. No, it is impossible," the President said. He added that after the ceasefire, the martial law is likely to be completed, and then the parliament will have to hold elections.

At the same time, Zelensky said that the Russians did not have significant promotion on the battlefield and their losses are several times larger than Ukrainian, so they were forced to involve soldiers from North Korea. "Because they do not have a strong army. They are just very, very, very much. And this is a manipulation," the President of Ukraine said.

According to him, last year, 45,000 people were mobilized every month against 30,000 in Ukraine and the Russian army is almost twice as large as Ukrainian, but the occupiers lack equipment and mobilized do not want to go into battle. "People do not want to go there, everyone shock, run, make shooting, threaten. You have to understand that their situation is not better," Zelensky said.

We will remind, in the published interview The Guardian, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that the Russians wanted to kill him at the beginning of the war with the Russian Federation. According to him, he was made several attempts during which people were killed within the President's office.
