President Volodymyr Zelenskyy assured that Ukraine would not accept any ultimatums from Russia. As those are just propaganda myths, not backed by the support of Russians.
Adviser to the Head of the Presidential Office Mykhailo Podoliak said in a comment to the press.
He stated that Zelenskyy’s position is that negotiations are a two-way street, especially when a country sitting at the table clearly knows how to defend its interests. Offer to offer. And offers must be adequate. In turn, the Russian side, having misjudged its potential, made the wrong choice to push ultimatums.
The harsher Russia’s ultimatums are, the fiercer the resistance of the people gets. The more Ukrainians are mobilizing, the President of Ukraine stressed.

"It is obvious that we will not accept any ultimatums, no matter what they concern. Tens of millions of Ukrainians are really behind us. And hardly any ultimatums from Moscow are backed by tens of millions of Russians. These are just propaganda myths. Our position is simple: talks have to be real and adequate. This will make them substantive. And substantive negotiations do not accept the ultimate tone," Podoliak said.
Therefore, the sooner the Russian side agrees, the less Russia will suffer as a result of the war, he added.
