"Putin doesn't want negotiations because he doesn't want peace."

APA reports that President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said this in an interview with "Sky News".

President Zelensky said that Russia does not want to negotiate, and it was like that before the war.

"I am sure that Ukraine is the first step for him. I am sure that he has started a big war."

The Ukrainian leader said that Moscow expects that the global community will not unite against this war and will tire of its support for Ukraine.

"Putin thinks: "I'm training in Ukraine now, but we'll wait..., they'll get tired and I'll go further.

After Ukraine, their next steps will be, if we can't resist, other countries will be the target.

I think we will be able to, get support and win," Zelensky said.

When a journalist asked whether a face-to-face meeting with President Putin would help resolve the ongoing conflict, the Ukrainian President said that this meeting is no longer interesting to him.

"I'm not interested. I'm not interested in meeting, talking. Why? Because we met him. In the format of Normandy, it was before the full-scale invasion. I saw a man who said one thing and then did another. I don't understand, it's his decisions , or someone else's? I mean, meeting with whom, shaking hands? It's not interesting. Talking? I really don't understand who decides in Russia. Who is he now? After the full-scale occupation, for me he is nobody, nobody," said the President of Ukraine.

The leader of Ukraine said that they have no intention to fight on the territory of Russia.

"For me, people are the number one priority.

That's why I don't want to fight on the territory of Russia.

I just want them to stop the war as soon as possible and leave our country as soon as possible.

I can tell you with certainty that if they leave our territory, the war will stop," he said.
