“Zelensky is advised to be diplomatic. But I think his instinct is to fight on the battlefield,” he was quoted as saying by The New York Times.
US officials called on Zelensky to take into account the opinion of countries that did not join in condemning Moscow, and not appear in the eyes of the world community as a leader who categorically opposes the negotiations, the expert said.
Russia has repeatedly indicated its readiness for dialogue, but Ukraine has imposed a ban on them at the legislative level.
