Russian Memorandum is not seriously serious / day

« This is not a memorandum on mutual understanding. There should be two parties on mutual understanding, not one who just demands something, » the president said.

« Why is it an ultimatum? Because the first point is the internationally legal recognition of the Crimean, DTR, LTR, LTR, Zaporizia and Kherson’s districts as part of the Russian Federation, the complete removal of the Ukrainian armed forces and other Ukrainian military formations from these territories, » said Zelensky, listing the regions of Ukraine.

This paragraph is in conflict with the UN statutes, common sense and the Constitution of Ukraine, the President said.

Zelensky also said that the Ukrainian side had confirmed the readiness to exchange prisoners of war on June 7 and 8.

« Our groups have been consulting on the exchange we agreed on. The Russian side handed over that it would be able to hand over 500 of our soldiers out of 1,000 on Saturday and Sunday this weekend, » he stated.

Zelensky added that Ukraine, for its part, was ready to exchange a corresponding number of war prisoners, but Russia has not yet handed over the relevant lists.

Similarly, Zelensky repeatedly invited Russian dictator Vladimir Putin to a meeting – any day from Monday.

« Meeting Russian choice: Istanbul, Vatican, Switzerland. We suggest a meeting from Monday any day, » he said.

He added that before such a meeting should be agreed to stop fire.
