Zelensky on talks with Russia: Not with Putin, it's just a game of ping-pong

This was announced by the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky at a press conference, reports a Ukrinform correspondent.

“It's like ping-pong – what Putin says. It's not always possible to get an answer. I think that in general we would agree to negotiate not with him, but with someone who could represent Russia. Russia has business, and they have many regions, including significant business areas. I think we would communicate with them if they have an idea of how to stop the war, if they are ready to act against the will of Putin, who does not want to stop (the war),” Zelensky noted.

According to the president, he believes that there is a certain position in Russia towards Putin.

“I think they might not be afraid if Yura, America and Ukraine are ready to negotiate on this basis,” Zelensky stressed.
