Zelensky on Putin's readiness for peace talks: He will not stop
Zelensky told this to Italy's SkyTG24 news channel on the sidelines of the G7 summit, Ukrinform reports, citing Reuters.
The Ukrainian leader believes that Putin will not stop his military offensive even if his ceasefire demands are met.
"These are ultimatum messages that are no different from messages from the past," Zelensky said.
Zelensky drew a parallel between Putin and German Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler's expansionist drive before the outbreak of World War II.
"He will not stop. It is the same thing that Hitler used to do. [...] This is why we should not trust these messages," he said.
Putin said in a speech earlier in the day that Russia would end the war in Ukraine if Kyiv agreed to drop its NATO ambitions and hand over the entirety of four regions claimed by Moscow.
