Sit at the negotiating table with me, but not 30 metres away like you did with Macron, Schulz. I don't bite

In a media interview, Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed his readiness to negotiate with Putin and urged him to sit down at the negotiating table:

"What do you want from us? Get off our land! If you don't want to go now, sit down with me at the negotiating table. I am free. Sit down with me, but not thirty metres away, like Macron, Scholz and so on. I'm a neighbor, I don't need to be thirty metres away, I don't bite, I'm a normal person! Sit down with me, talk to me. What are you afraid of?! We're not threatening anyone. We are not terrorists, we don't rob banks and we don't invade other people's land," Zelensky said.

The Ukrainian president is now being interviewed by CNN.
