Details: The president noted that he had received certain signals from leaders of other countries regarding possible negotiations with Russia.
As Zelenskyy said, the Russian Federation is waging the full-scale war of aggression against Ukraine, so any negotiations must take place in public, not behind closed doors.
Zelenskyy noted that in order to ensure that world leaders do not question Ukraine's readiness for negotiations, he presented proposals at the G20 summit aimed at achieving peace in our country.
"I believe that this is a formula for peace for the whole world. Because every state can find a role there and be a leader in this or that initiative, in overcoming the difficulties of this or that item from among these ten items," the President said.
He said that after the recent victories of Ukraine, a number of countries have understood that the stories about the power of the Russian army were a myth.
The president also said that he is not interested in the future of Russia, because it is not a priority for Ukraine.
"We have to deal with our state. We must make sure that our neighbours do not try to attack us again. And this is our task, we must do the job," Zelenskyy emphasised.
