Zelenskyy names just one viable model for negotiations with Russia – video

As of now, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy sees just one model for negotiations with Russian tyrant Vladimir Putin: a tripartite agreement with mediators, as utilised on the grain corridor.

Details: The journalist questioned Zelenskyy if it was possible for Ukraine to engage with Putin. The Ukrainian leader specified only one option: a paper similar to the grain corridor agreement.

Quote: "Ukraine can find a model to develop solutions.

This concept was initially applied to the grain corridor, when Ukraine reached an agreement with the UN and Türkiye rather than Russia.

They, in turn, took up the commitment of negotiating with us and then signing the equivalent agreement with the Russian Federation.

So it worked: the UN and Türkiye reached two mirror accords...

Similarly, when countries from various continents are formulating a solution to a specific situation, an acceptable model might be employed in the areas of territorial integrity, energy, and shipping. Then, if it suits Ukraine, this document must engage with representatives from the Russian Federation.

We only have this model."
