President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he was ready to sit down with Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin for the sake of peace, despite his hostile attitude.

He said this in an interview with British journalist Piers Morgan.

According to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukraine, Russia, the United States and Europe should be at the table for peace talks.

«If this is the only configuration in which we can achieve peace for Ukrainians and not lose people, of course we will do it,» Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.

The President of Ukraine also emphasised that his personal attitude to the Russian leader in this case did not matter.

«I consider him an enemy. And, to be honest, I think he considers me an enemy, too,» Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.

The Head of State also noted that Ukraine cannot return all the territories now, and «cannot lose millions of people for the sake of a result that may not come». He added that the country cannot «violate the oath given to those who gave their lives for the country in this war». It also cannot violate the Constitution and recognise the occupied territories as Russian.

As a reminder, Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that he is ready to «allocate people» to negotiate with Ukraine to end the war. At the same time, he called any such talks «illegitimate».
