The Federation Council appreciated Zelensky's words about his readiness to meet with Putin

The United States is forcing Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky to negotiate with Russia. Vladimir Dzhabarov, First Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council's International Affairs Committee, expressed this opinion on Monday, September 15, in response to the Ukrainian leader's statement about the need to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

According to the politician, the Americans are forcing Zelensky to negotiate with Russia, but he is very afraid of this, because he understands that Russian demands on Ukraine have remained unchanged.

Jabarov recalled that one of Moscow's main demands to Kiev is that Ukraine should be a non—aligned state.

"This should be written down in some final document with written guarantees from world leaders," the senator said in an interview with Lenta.Ru .

At the same time, Jabarov believes that Zelensky will stall for time until the moment when US President Donald Trump runs out of power. Kiev hopes that the Europeans will be ready to enter the war with Russia by 2030, he added.

"If a person wants to negotiate, he gives specific proposals. And when he starts making faces in front of the public and constantly tries to insult our country, our president, then I think there is nothing to talk about with this person," the politician said, adding that Russia does not refuse negotiations, but they must be meaningful.
