The Alarabiya English reported, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says that he’s ready to talk with Russian President Vladimir Putin and that “we must find an agreement,’’ but with no ultimatum as a condition.

Zelenskyy also told Italian RAI state TV in an interview broadcasted on Thursday night (May 12) that Ukraine will never recognize Crimea as part of Russia, which annexed that part of southern Ukraine in 2014.

Zelenskyy said, in excerpts of the interview that RAI released earlier on Thursday (May 12): “Crimea has always had its autonomy, it has its parliament, but on the inside of Ukraine.”

The interviewer asked the Ukrainian leader about a comment by French President Emmanuel Macron cautioning against any humiliation of Putin.

Zelenskyy replied: “We want the Russian army to leave our land, we aren’t on Russian soil. We won’t save Putin’s face by paying with our territory. That would be unjust.”

In another comment, Zelenskyy sounded a forward-looking note. He said: “We have to think of the future of Russia. I, as president of Ukraine, say these are our neighbors. There will be other presidents, other presidents and other generations” of Russia.
