During the press marathon, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said that the country is ready for any development of the conflict with Russia, including escalation. In his opinion, Ukraine has been “in a state of war with the Russian Federation for eight years already,” and the aggravation of the conflict can occur any day. Mr Zelensky also said that in the near future the head of his office, Andriy Yermak, will contact the representatives of Russia.
“I believe that there may be such a possibility every day, but I believe that today there is intimidation. I want to say right away that there is really a lot of intimidation from several media platforms that there will be a war tomorrow. What we need to know: we fully control our borders and are fully prepared for any escalation, ”said Mr Zelensky. According to him, rumors about the introduction of martial law from December 1 in Ukraine lead to problems in attracting investment to the country.
The President noted that Ukraine has been “at war with the Russian Federation for eight years already” and has “real intelligence not only from our intelligence, but also from partner countries” about a possible escalation of the conflict. With this development of events, Ukraine will rely on its own forces and the army, the head of state said.
He also said that in the near future the head of his office, Andrei Yermak, will contact the representatives of Russia. “By the way, I talk every day with different leaders. Yesterday was Charles Michel, Angela Merkel, and they want us to start communicating with the Russian Federation with them, there will definitely be a call. They want contact between our administration and the administration of Russia. I think that in the near future Ermak will contact them. We are absolutely not against it, ”he said.
Earlier, during the press marathon, Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced the information he had that a coup d’etat was planned in the country. At the same time, he himself does not believe in him.
Earlier, Western media wrote that Russia is planning an “invasion” of Ukraine. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba said that an attack on Ukraine would cost Russia dearly. The Russian side replied that the Ukrainian government has crossed all borders and is conducting offensive hostilities in the Donbass.
