Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Saturday called
again for a meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin in an effort to
"put an end to the war".
"I think that whoever started this war will be able to
end it," he told a news conference at a metro station in the heart of the
Ukrainian capital, adding that he was "not afraid to meet" Putin if
it would lead to a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine.
"From the beginning, I have insisted on talks with the
Russian president," he said. "It's not that I want (to meet him),
it's that I have to meet him so as to settle this conflict by diplomatic means.
"We have confidence in our partners, but we have no
confidence in Russia," he added.
Zelensky also repeated his warning that they would break off
talks if Russia killed the remaining Ukrainian soldiers in the besieged Black
Sea port of Mariupol.
"If our men are killed in Mariupol and if these
pseudo-referendums are organised in the (southern) region of Kherson, then
Ukraine will withdraw from any negotiation process," he said.
He was ready to exchange Ukraine's soldiers defending the
city "in whatever format" to save "these people who find
themselves in a horrible situation, surrounded".
He said the "last contact" with the Mariupol soldiers
had been an hour ago, he said, adding "today is one of the hardest
days" since the start of the Russian siege of the city at the beginning of
March.
