— I think it does not bring us closer to peace," said Zelenski. He besides stated that Wiktoff's statements were “disturbing” the Ukrainian side. — I always told the president (US Donald) Trump said that we want the Americans to be on our side and even if America chose present to be in the middle, it was about being in the middle, not closer to the Kremlin," said Zelenski.
Witkoff, although appointed as an envoy for mediate East affairs, besides took on the function of negotiator in talks about the war in Ukraine. He dated Vladimir Putin twice.
Zelenski, commenting on the situation in the Black Sea, in connection with the findings made during the American-Russian and American-Ukrainian talks in Saudi Arabia, said that "a truce in the Black Sea is mainly crucial to Russians", and Ukrainians control the situation in these waters.
Zelenski knows what Putin is afraid of
The president of Ukraine argued that his country "defensively defends Europe". erstwhile asked about arguments against European countries which are susceptible to Moscow's threats and reluctant to send troops to Ukraine, he noted that Russia is opposed to "all European decisions in the safety sphere". He argued that Europe must strengthen its safety for its citizens and not ask what the Kremlin would say.
According to Zelenski, what Vladimir Putin fears is “the unity of Europe and the United States” and the host of the Kremlin seeks to weaken this unity. “I think to any degree he has succeeded, thank God, not entirely, but he has seen successes,” said the president of Ukraine.
An interview with Zelenski, who visits Paris, was organised by the European Broadcasting Union. The studio in the capital of France featured journalists from French public television, BBC News, German ARD television, and Estonian public broadcaster ERR.
