Vladimir Zelensky claimed his decree was meant to prevent potential contacts between fugitive Ukrainian opposition activists and Russia’s authorities
MOSCOW, May 13. /TASS/. Vladimir Zelensky has said that his decree banning talks with Russia does not apply to him.
"Under the National Security and Defense Council’s resolution - and the constitution says the same, I am in charge of this mission and no one but me can engage in talks related to Ukraine’s sovereignty. No one but me can hold relevant talks with the Russian leader and leaders of other countries. This is my right and duty I haven’t banned myself from anything," he told journalists before leaving for Turkey.
Zelensky claimed his decree was meant to prevent potential contacts between fugitive Ukrainian opposition activists and Russia’s authorities.
On October 4, 2022, Zelensky signed a decree to enforce the National Security and Defense Council’s resolution banning any talks with Russia.
Speaking to reporters in the Kremlin on May 11, Russian President Vladimir Putin invited the Kiev authorities to resume the direct talks they broke off in 2022 without any preliminary conditions. He proposed to launch a dialogue on May 15 in Istanbul.
L’État, c’est moi!
He is a real piece of work.
I dunno. Of course he has to talk with Russia. That law may have been overly broad or misguided but seriously, they have to talk to each other.
Zelensky also banned Ukraine men between the ages of 18 to 60 from leaving the country, but of course that didn’t include him either as he flies around the world on his begging tours.
This will not stop until he is removed from power and the country is returned back to the people.
It's a broken record.
Even in the dark days of world war Two the Allies had ways to Talk to Hitler and Mussolini. We gave them the formula for Penicillin to treat the wounded. This might have saved Hitler’s life after the bomb that almost killed him and drug the war on for months. Field Marshall Rommel could have surrendered to the allies.
Zelensky does everything he can to make sure he bans any opposition from the microphone.
Zelensky knows that and end to the war means an election to get rid of him.
Contortion and extortion.
That’s his game.
Some people are just Special.
He gets more funny by the day.
The self appointed dictator has spoken. Despite the fact that Russia does not recognize his authority as an unelected dictator. This has been pointed out more times than I can count. So what is the MI-6/CIA dishing up next? It ain’t no meeting...
“MI-6/CIA dishing up next? It ain’t no meeting...”
We can only hope.
“No one but me can hold relevant talks with the Russian leader and leaders of other countries.”
It’s common for dictators to say that.
The spot light on Zelensky must have went out he’s panicking.
“Field Marshall Rommel could have surrendered to the allies.”
Rommel wanted to end it, but he had family at home who were under threat.
