On Tuesday Ukrainian ruler Vladimir Zelensky told talkshow host Piers Morgan that he is now ready to sit down with Russian President Vladimir Putin to hold peace talks.
“If that is the only setup in which we can bring peace to the citizens of Ukraine and not lose people, definitely we will go for this setup, for this meeting,” Zelensky told Morgan.
“Zelensky said Ukraine was ready to end the ‘hot stage’ of the war and that its willingness to negotiate with Russia at all represented a compromise,” the Kiev Independent said Tuesday.
The Ukrainian ruler does not appear to be happy about the war coming to a close, something brought on by President Donald Trump.
“I will not be kind to him [Putin], I consider him an enemy. And to be honest, I believe he considers me an enemy as well,” Zelensky told Morgan.
It was recently reported that Trump confirmed serious discussions with Russia over Ukraine, and that Trump’s top envoy, Keith Kellogg said Ukraine must hold elections directly after a ceasefire commences. Interestingly, Putin has said in December that Ukraine holding elections is necessary for peace negotiations to proceed.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed Russia is also ready for these talks as well.
“…the Russian side remains open to negotiations,” Peskov said.
Trump has repeatedly said he will end this war, something his cabinet has also worked on.
“U.S. President Donald Trump has urged Zelensky and Putin to ‘make a deal’ to end the war and has pledged to broker a ceasefire within the first six months of his term,” the Kiev Independent said Tuesday.
While Zelensky appears to dread the upcoming peace negotiations, according to Morgan the Ukrainian still wishes for nuclear weapons. Morgan’s interview is titled ‘Zelensky: ‘We Want NUKES!’ Plus: ‘Tucker Carlson, Stop Licking Putin’s Ass!’ and is on Morgan’s Youtube channel.
Word to the wise.
