President Volodymyr Zelensky explained that Ukraine is not ready to negotiate with Russia now, so as does not want to repeat the negative experience of the Minsk agreements, which led to the loss of control over Ukraine's territories.

Zelensky stated this at a press conference following the results of the second Crimea Platform summit in Kyiv.

"At the point where we are, we are not ready for a ceasefire. We explained that there will be no Minsk-3, Minsk-5, or Minsk-7. We will not play these games, we have lost part of our territories this way. And everyone understands this very well, everyone heard it from us. Because it is a trap. We understand that," the official website of the President of Ukraine reports.

Zelensky reminded that the ceasefire regime could drag on for years, and Ukraine would be left without part of the territories in the south and would have no access to the sea. And after some time, Russia may start hostilities again, trying to take over Mykolaiv, Odesa, and even repeat the attempt to capture Kyiv.

"Russia, with daily attacks, breakthroughs, advances, and retreats accompanied by bloody murder and violence, tells us all that they do not see any negotiations. And we explain that everything they did shows that they are not thinking about any dialogue and have never thought about it," the statement reads.

He again emphasized that it is possible to bring the end of the war with Russia sooner if the West activates and speeds up the weaponry delivery.

Earlier, Zelensky stated that there will definitely be talks with the leadership of the Russian Federation about the war end, the only question is with what president.

In his turn, the President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, in an address to the nation on Monday, said that he still wants to bring the leaders of Ukraine and Russia - Volodymyr Zelensky and Vladimir Putin - to the same negotiating table.
