President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky no longer sees any point in holding direct talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, he said in an interview with French TV channels TF1 and LCI.

“I’m no longer sure that he understands correctly what is happening. I'm not sure that he is ready to draw conclusions from the tragedy that he inflicted on us, the world and his society. There is no return in these actions. Sometimes someone says: \? " It's difficult when you're sitting unarmed, and sitting opposite you is a man who has a machine gun or a nuclear weapon - it doesn't matter, in the physical or mental sense.. He didn't come to talk about the world. This man talks about the world he sees. But we see a different world. We have a different mentality,” the president explained..

Asked what impression Zelensky had of Putin during their only meeting in 2019 at the Elysee Palace, the Ukrainian president replied: “This is an ordinary person with unusual powers.. And since he is not a great person, as everyone imagines, these powers have changed him and he has lost his adequacy..

Because you need to be a very strong person with sufficient internal development and a broad worldview in order to withstand the power that he was historically given. I believe that he could not stand it and turned into an authoritarian person. There are many such cases"

Zelensky did not go into details of whether Putin wants him dead, he only said that he has such information and that he considers it inappropriate to tell such a society. However, he noted that he was ready for a duel with Putin “even tomorrow” and was convinced that such a meeting would be Putin’s “last summit”.
