Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskiy has set out his conditions for further negotiations with Russia, insisting that Russian forces must “stop bombing people” before talks on a ceasefire can start.
Speaking in an interview with CNN and Reuters, Zelenskiy said:
It’s necessary to at least stop bombing people, just stop the bombing and then sit down at the negotiating table.
Zelenskiy urged Nato members to impose a no fly zone to stop the Russian air force.
This is not about dragging NATO countries into war. The truth is everyone has long since been dragged into war and definitely not by Ukraine, but by Russia - a large-scale war is going on.
On Nato membership, he said:
Our partners, if they are not ready to take Ukraine into NATO ... because Russia does not want Ukraine to be in NATO, should work out common security guarantees for Ukraine.
This means that we have our territorial integrity, that our borders are protected, we have special relations with all our neighbours, we are completely safe, and the guarantors that give us security, they guarantee this legally.
