President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky invited Russian President Vladimir Putin to meet "anywhere in Donbass where there is a war."
He said this in a video message dedicated to Russian aggression.
“Separately, I would like to appeal to our northern neighbor. Once the President of the Russian Federation said: if a fight is inevitable, you need to hit first. But, in my opinion, today every leader is obliged to understand that a fight cannot be inevitable when it is not about a gateway and hooligans, but about a real war and millions of human lives,” Zelensky said.
The President recalled that veterans of the Second World War still live in the Donbass, "who liberated this land from the Nazis and do not understand why their peaceful life, 75 years later, was again under the threat of war."
“Ukraine and Russia, despite their common past, look to the future differently. We are we. You are you. But this is not necessarily a problem, it is an opportunity. At least – the opportunity, before it's too late, to stop the deadly mathematics of future military losses," Zelensky called.
He stressed that yesterday and today at the meetings of the Normandy Four and the security subgroup in the TCG, the restoration of the full ceasefire was discussed, but, despite the support of all parties, Russia refused to support the general statement.
“At the same time, a proposal was made to meet at the contact line in order to see and understand the situation as accurately as possible. What should I understand? I understand everything perfectly. I go there every month. Mr. Putin, I am ready to go even further and invite you to meet anywhere in the Ukrainian Donbass, where the war is going on. Glory to Ukraine!" – Zelensky summed up his video message.
