Details: Zelenskyy had been asked what concessions Russia would need to make during possible peace talks.

He replied: "What should Russia do? It should eff off. Ideally, it should understand what it is doing – killing us – while we are defending ourselves and fighting the enemy."

Quote: "For now, our plans remain unchanged. Of course, we hope to become stronger so that this war can end in 2025. Apologies for the undiplomatic phrasing."

Zelenskyy also mentioned that the main topics of the discussion with Chancellor Scholz were strengthening the front line, the future role of the European Union, and an invitation for Ukraine to join NATO.
