The President criticized the proposal of former US Secretary of State Kissinger.
President Vladimir Zelensky criticized the proposals of some Western politicians that Ukraine should make concessions to Russia, including by giving up part of its territory.
In the traditional evening video message, the head of state responded, in particular, to the words of former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. Earlier, he said that Ukraine should negotiate with the Russian Federation, even if it is required to make concessions.
Zelensky was outraged that there were proposals in the world to take into account the interests of the aggressor country.
“Despite the thousands of Russian missiles that hit Ukraine. Despite the tens of thousands of Ukrainians killed. Despite Bucha and Mariupol. Despite the destroyed cities. And despite the “filtration camps” built by the Russian state, in which they kill, torture, rape and humiliate like on a conveyor belt. Russia did all this in Europe. But anyway, in Davos, for example, Mr. Kissinger emerges from the deep past and says that supposedly it is necessary to give Russia a piece of Ukraine. So that allegedly there would be no alienation of Russia from Europe. It seems that Mr. Kissinger does not have 2022, but 1938. And he thought that he was speaking to the audience not in Davos, but in what was then Munich,” he said.
