Zelensky believes it is possible to reach agreement with Putin on peace, return of occupied territories, although it’s very difficult

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky believes that it is possible to reach agreements with President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin to end the war in Donbas and return the occupied territories to Ukraine, although this is very difficult to do.

“I believe in this. Otherwise, I would not run for President of Ukraine. It is very difficult, and here we need the help of the whole world, it is true. But I do not lose this faith,” he said in an interview with the Hard Talk program on the BBC, answering the question whether he believes in the possibility of concluding a peace agreement with Putin, which will return all of its territories to Ukraine, including Crimea.

Zelensky also said he is ready to step down from the presidency if he fails in this issue.

“You know, this is not a problem for me. I said right away then that I do not cling to ratings or power. If I cannot end the war, then another person must come who is able to end this tragic story between our countries,” he pointed out.

  1. “If I cannot end the war, then another person must come who is able to end this tragic story between our countries,”

    Goodbye Ze, close the door on your way out. You promised to fight corruption and failed miserably, why should we believe you will resign when you fail to end the war?

  2. Of course it is possible. But as he says ‘It is very difficult, and here we need the help of the whole world, it is true”.
    Problem is : Ukraine can manage quite well without the ‘help’ of the whole world. There isn’t any and never will be.
    Only the Budapest signatories can do this. If they set their mind to it, the putinazis would be gone in weeks rather than months.

  3. A true lasting peace and a fair solution for Crimea will never happen with Putin. He is a bully, he enjoys war, death and mayhem. A true peace can only be achieved with a democratic RuSSia, not the USSR light.

    • Yeah the nazis in the Kremlin think the Crimea theft issue will go away if they don’t talk about it. They should be constantly reminded of their theft and the UNGA vote on Crimea. Sanctions should be increased every 6 months they don’t vacate.
