The President noted that the corresponding information soil is being prepared on the readiness of Ukraine for any exchange.
“The Telegraph wrote that I was ready to exchange territories. I did not communicate with The Telegraph. But I am quite an experienced person to understand how the information field is being prepared. He throws up:” Is Ukraine ready to exchange … “Then they look at the reactions of certain people, civil society, bloggers, journalists, and the corresponding information soil is being prepared,” he explained.
Zelensky said that he was not going to give his country, because he has no right to do so, because it is not about private property. He called the issue of exchange of territories very complicated.
Also, according to the media, Zelensky commented on the proposals of the Russian Federation to stop fire, in particular, the abandonment of the Donbass in favor of the aggressor and the unwillingness of the invaders to leave the territories they occupy.
“In my opinion, the story is not about the fact that the“ Russians ”invite Ukraine to leave the Donbass completely and for this they are also ready to leave some territory. In my opinion, by and large, they offer simply not to come further, and not go out of somewhere. And, I think this is the point. Because the situation when leaving Donbass is a CEASEFIRE condition [прекращения огня]then this exchange is quite conditional. This suggests that you are offered to leave the territory that you control, and for this Ceasefire, that is, there will be no attack further, ”the president is convinced.
According to Zelensky, the Russians understand that Kharkov and the Sumy region will not receive.
“And, to be honest, the Kinburn braid, blocking the naval port of Nikolaev, is not for them. This is not strategic for them. They just want us to leave the Donbass to give them Donbass,” he said.
