President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky stated that when Ukraine reaches the administrative border with the temporarily occupied Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea, then russian president putin will likely be forced to "seek dialogue". Zelensky made this statement in an interview with ABC News.
"It is absolutely clear, logical rhetoric that at that moment when Ukraine will reach the administrative border with a temporarily occupied Ukrainian peninsula, Crimea, it's very likely that putin will be forced to seek dialogue with the civilized world, unlike how it was before the full-scale invasion, because he will be weakened. He will seek other paths, possibly diplomatic ones", - emphasized Zelensky.
The President is convinced that the war must end with justice and peace, and the restoration of Ukraine's territorial integrity.
"Why? Because ending the hot phase of the war and freezing the conflict will not mean the end of the war", - Zelensky noted.
Previously, Zelensky commented on the situation regarding the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
