Zelensky responds to Putin that he does not accept his “ultimatum” and asks him to get out of his “bubble” and allow “dialogue”

the president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyresponded to the Kremlin on Monday that he does not accept its “ultimatum” to stop the invasion and asked his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putinto get out of his “bubble” and allow the “dialogue”.

This is how the Ukrainian president expressed himself when asked in an interview in advance in excerpts with the US chain ABC about the Kremlin’s announcement, which He has proposed to stop his offensive if Kiev renounces joining NATO, recognizes Crimea as Russian territory and recognizes the independence of Donbas.

“This is another ultimatum and we are not prepared for ultimatums”he claimed Zelensky during the interview, which will be broadcast in full tonight.

In contrast, the Ukrainian president stated that “What Putin must do is start the dialogue instead of living in an information bubble without oxygen.”

• China says its relationship with Russia is “steady as a rock” and confirms that it acts as a mediator
• The European Union agrees to start the accession process of Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia in the midst of war
• Russia draws up a list of “hostile” countries and announces the retaliation it will apply to them

“He is in a bubble receiving information and we don’t know if the information they give him is realistic”he explained.

Questioned about the refusal of the NATO and the US to impose a no-fly zone in Ukraine, Zelensky insisted that it is necessary to shoot down Russian missiles to “preserve lives” of civilians, since, he remarked, there are bombings against universities and hospitals.

“I am sure that the brave American soldiers would shoot down (the Russian missiles) that are launched against the students. I’m sure they would have no hesitation in doing so.”he claimed.

The US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, reiterated this Monday during a visit to Latvia that neither his country nor NATO will support a no-fly zone over Ukraine, since this would imply making the Alliance “part” of the conflict.

The position assumed by NATO is to send weapons to the Ukrainians to defend themselves from the Russian attack, but it will not deploy soldiers or planes in Ukraine, a country that is not part of the Atlantic Alliance.
