Dmitry Belik, member of the International Relations Committee, Sevastopol deputy of the State Duma, said that it is not up to Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky to determine the terms of negotiations with the Russian Federation. His words are quoted RIA News.
“We do not need a negotiator like Zelensky today, and it is not his job to dictate the terms of negotiations. To take something from Russia, it must first be captured. “Meanwhile, we also see the achievements of the Ukrainian army, the size of a sparrow’s beak,” he said.
According to Belik, today every Ukrainian soldier understands that he is faced with an enemy that is very formidable for him.
Before that Zelensky accepted Negotiations with Russia without returning Kiev to 1991 borders.
Ukrainian authorities have previously repeatedly expressed their intention to return all territories occupied by the Russian Federation. Russia annexed Crimea in 2014, and in the fall of 2022, the LDPR, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions were included in the country.
In addition, the permanent representative of the Russian Federation to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, stated that by canceling the elections, Zelensky will cease to be a legitimate president and Russia will have no one left to conduct hypothetical peace negotiations. He said that Moscow’s goal of demilitarizing Ukraine had been completed because the Ukrainian Armed Forces had long “survived” not at the expense of their own weapons, but at the expense of the NATO arsenal.
Previously Zelensky warned About the inappropriateness of bargaining for Russian lands.
