President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is convinced that Russian leader Vladimir Putin does not want to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine but is trying to hold such discussions with foreign leaders to end his international isolation.

Quote: “I think Putin doesn’t want peace at all, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t want to sit down with some leaders (at the negotiating table – ed.). Because for him, it’s about breaking his political isolation .

For him, it is beneficial to sit, talk and not agree. He can’t travel, and talking means he has to go somewhere, requiring him to unblock that possibility. It’s about dismantling the isolation… these are steps in the de-isolation process for Putin as a politician.

He would like to negotiate capitulation terms from our side, but no one will give it to him.”
