“Zelensky has put the interests of nationalists above the interests of the people of Ukraine,” – Putin said

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has spoken about his desire for peace, but in the end he began putting the interests of nationalist-minded groups above the interests of the country’s people.

Russian President Vladimir Putin stated this in an interview with the channel India Today.

According to him, the Ukrainian authorities must realize that negotiations are the best way to resolve problems. The Russian leader believes that Kyiv’s actions have practically driven Ukraine into a corner.

“Ukraine made the decision to fight. Now their military actions have practically driven them into a corner,” he said.

Earlier, Zelensky said he was ready to meet with Putin on the condition that there would be a result afterward.

“If there is a meeting that will definitely lead to a ceasefire and an end to the war, Ukraine will support one format or another,” he said.
