Zelensky Explains Why He Banned Talks With Russia
Sputnik News ^ | 1/24/25

MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Against the backdrop of pressure from the new US administration and calls for negotiations with Moscow, Volodymyr Zelensky said that he allegedly had not been subject to Ukrainian law banning negotiations with Russia.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said the day before that negotiations with Kiev under the current conditions would be illegitimate due to Ukraine's ban on them, which means that the results of these negotiations could also be declared illegitimate. According to him, the sponsors of the Kiev regime should force Zelensky to lift the ban.

As Zelensky said at a press conference in Kiev, immediately before he introduced the ban on negotiations, Russia, a number of Ukrainian political forces, as well as US and UK representatives, had tried to establish a negotiation process. He called attempts to achieve peace a "separatism."

"There were many negotiation processes, many shadow political corridors. I stopped it. I simply stopped separatism in our state. By forbidding anyone, any representatives and political figures in Ukraine to conduct any negotiations with the Russian side," Zelensky said.

At the same time, he called himself the leader of any possible negotiations.

"I forbade everyone else to conduct them," he emphasized against the backdrop of US President Donald Trump's recent statement about Zelensky's readiness for negotiations.

However, Zelensky's decree of September 30, 2022 and the decision of the National Security and Defense Council said nothing about the participants in the negotiations from Ukraine, only stating in general "the impossibility of holding negotiations with the President of the Russian Federation Putin."

Verkhovna Rada member Oleksandr Dubinsky earlier said that after Trump's words, Zelensky "is dancing on the head of a pin."

Putin previously put forward initiatives for a peaceful settlement of the conflict in Ukraine: Moscow will immediately cease fire and declare its readiness......

The reason Zelensky banned talks with Russia is because any negotiated settlement to end the war is going to be not as good as the settlement that he reneged on three years ago.

No leader anywhere wants to have to face their people and explain how their actions resulted in the destruction of the Ukraine, brought Europe and the USA to the brink of nuclear war, the deaths or serious injury of perhaps as many as 2 million people, a Ukrainian refugee crisis, and the depletion of military reserves and stockpiles to critically low low levels and the waste of at least a quarter trillion dollars - probably much more . and a multi trillion dollar reconstruction bill.

I seriously doubt that Zelensky and his cabal will survive the end of this war and will probably be executed by the Ukrainian people for what he has brought upon them

I’m with Trump, I also have better things to do with my time than worry about some puny DESPOTIC country halfway around the world.

Zelensky is a criminal who is responsible for the deaths of thousands of both Ukrainian and Russian and now North Korean soldiers.

Zelensky banned talks with Russia…
————-
No need to go further than that to decide he is guilty of murdering millions of his countrymen. The good thing? The Ukrainian people will take care of Zelensky when they fully understand what he has done to them.

Likewise with the brain dead EU leadership, the EU citizens are suffering severe recession due to their war with Russia, a few of their governments have collapsed ( Germany Romania) and more government changes are coming.

Here is yet another interview of Martin Armstrong. This is perhaps one of his best. Enjoy!

Better than his July video where he predicted US cIvil unrest/WAR to happen just before the 2024 elections?

Better than his November video where he predicted a US civil war would happen the week if Trump’s inauguration?

Better than his January post where he predicts US civil unrest on May 7?

Can you post a link to his 2014 video where you said gold would hit $5,000 in 2015?
