“The world is waiting for Ukraine to present a compromise plan on how to end the war tomorrow,” he said during an event in Kiev.
“It’s not that there are no compromises with Putin, but with Putin the dialogue today is empty, meaningless, because he himself does not want to end the war through diplomacy,” Zelensky said.
Putin may be willing to engage in diplomatic negotiations, Zelensky said, but his condition is that Kiev recognize Russia’s occupation of 30 percent of Ukrainian territory.
“We will not play with him,” added Zelensky.
The Ukrainian president said the advance of his forces in the southern Russian region of Kursk had silenced Kiev’s critics.
Ukraine presented its own plan for peace at a summit in Switzerland in June. The plan envisages the withdrawal of Russian troops from all areas of Ukraine, including the Crimean peninsula.
Russia should also agree to pay reparations and its political and military leadership to be held accountable before an international court.
