Russo-Ukraine War: Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday suggested a direct meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war that has caused widespread destruction in Ukraine.
“We are not attacking Russia and we are not planning to attack it. What do you want from us? Give up our land,” he said addressing Putin.
“Sit with me. Not 30 meters away like[French President Emmanuel Macron],” AFP quoted the Ukrainian leader as saying.
Russia and Ukraine have already begun peace talks to end the ceasefire, a round held earlier this week. The second round of talks between the delegations is underway in Belarus.
Zelensky urged the West to increase military aid to Ukraine. “If you don’t have the power to close the sky, give me the plane!” Zelensky said during a news conference.
“If we are no more, God forbid, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia will be next,” he said, “trust me.”
Attacking Putin for invading his country, Zelensky said: “No one thought that in the modern world a man could behave like an animal.”
On February 24, Putin launched an all-out military attack on Ukraine.
