Details: Zelenskyy expressed frustration that too much is being demanded from the non-aggressor. He emphasised that even agreeing to sit at the negotiation table with a "killer" is already a great compromise.

More details:Zelenskyy stated that Putin "acted like Hitler" and that the wrong approach to diplomacy could rehabilitate him. Zelenskyy reiterated that Ukraine is open to negotiations, but only under security guarantees that would prevent Russia from launching another aggression.
