Details: According to Zelenskyy, he previously believed that the war with Russia could end "purely through dialogue", that this dialogue has an "appropriate timescale", and that it will be possible to find "answers to many questions and many solutions".

Quote: "And now they (the negotiations between Ukraine and Russia - Ukrainska Pravda) are like a car, not a petrol car and not an electric car, a hybrid. That's why the war is so difficult, and victory will be very difficult, it will be bloody, it will definitely be in battle, but the ending will definitely be [achieved] through diplomacy. I'm sure of it."

Details: He explained that certain issues between Ukraine and Russia would not be resolved anywhere but the negotiating table.

Quote: "Because we want everything back, and the Russian Federation wants not to give everything away, in other words, not to give up anything."
