Unaware what Russian President wants: Zelenskyy

| @indiablooms | Feb 20, 2022, at 04:20 am

Kiev/UNI/Sputnik: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Saturday that he is not aware of Russian President Vladimir Putin's intentions regarding Ukraine, thus proposing a meeting.

While speaking at the Munich security conference, during the session on Europe's Permacrisis: Ukraine and Security in Europe, Zelenskyy was asked how he interprets Putin's views of Ukraine amid rising tensions in a breakaway Donbas.

"I do not know what the President of the Russian Federation wants, that is why I propose to meet. That's it," Zelenskyy said.

Kiev, Washington, and its European allies keep raising concerns over an alleged Russian incursion into Ukraine, accusing Moscow of increased military activity along the Ukrainian border.

Russia firmly denies having any intention to invade Ukraine and claims that controversy is being used as a pretext for advancing NATO's military presence in Eastern Europe.

Russian officials have repeatedly stated that Kiev's adherence to the Minsk agreements and NATO's military drawdown near Russian borders will lay the ground for sustained peace in Ukraine.
