Zelensky wants no talks in order not to acknowledge fact of Ukraine’s break-up — Medvedev

Moscow, SANA-Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has no intention to hold talks with Russia, since it makes no sense without acknowledging the fact of Ukraine’s break-up, Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev wrote on his Telegram channel on Saturday.

“Zelensky does not want any negotiations for quite obvious selfish reasons. Moreover, they [negotiations] are very dangerous for him,” Medvedev wrote.

“After all, unless he acknowledges the realities of Ukraine’s break-up, it makes no sense to sit down at the [negotiating] table. Once he admits it, he will be bumped off by his own nationalists who are connected with the army top brass, and of whom he is scared out of his wits,” Medvedev said, describing the situation by the chess term ‘Zugzwang.

The West does not want to rupture relations with Russia completely, which is fraught with World War III, so they prod Kiev into holding talks with Moscow, Medvedev wrote.

Medvedev pointed out that “everyone is exhausted from the Kiev regime” and nobody accepted Ukraine’s “clumsy attempts” to pin responsibility for the missile incident in Poland on Russia.
