Relations between Ukraine and Russia in the future will be possible only after the admission of guilt and repentance for what is happening now in Ukraine - both by the leadership of Russia and the Russian people.
This opinion was expressed by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky in an interview with the Russian opposition Internet publication Mediazona, Voice of America reports..
“They attacked, took away part of the land, took people away, took their lives, just killed, and cruelly, cruelly. Recognizing this is like going to church, how to say in spirit, confess. This is fine. I believe that we do not decide already. God will forgive or not forgive - this is not a question for us,"
According to the President of Ukraine, it would be possible to talk about mutual visits in the future only on such conditions of repentance..
He said, " I am ready to go to any place on the planet for the sake of our country, but definitely not now and definitely not to Moscow. It's just not possible. But, of course, with other people and under other circumstances, everything is probably possible.. But after everything that happened, it definitely won’t give me pleasure. ”. He also noted that in 20 years there will be another president in Ukraine and in Russia too..
In addition, the Ukrainian president expressed his conviction that the political leadership of Russia made a “catastrophic mistake” by invading his country and now “the Russian people are also responsible for this massacre”.
“Here they are all the time, Russian politicians, all the time talking about historical steps, about justice, about the fight against Nazism, whatever they said! But the fact of the massacre cannot be removed anywhere. And it is impossible to forgive,” the Ukrainian leader believes..
He noted that now no one in the world will figure out which of the Russians has what attitude to the war..
“Now many, in many countries, will not ask whether you are a good guy or a bad guy.. They will just react like Russians. That's what they did terrible. It's not scary for me, it's scary for these people, I think so. Because there were a lot of different things in the history, discoveries, culture, artists, scientists - there were a lot of things. After the massacre, as a rule, people do not want to hear all this.. They don't, I'm sure of it.
It seems to me that this is the biggest blow [to the Russians],"
The President of Ukraine gave an interview to Mediazona publisher Petr Verzilov and producer Beau Willimon for a documentary film about the Russian invasion.
Mediazona published Zelensky's answers to 3 questions, including the question whether he himself is ready to come to Moscow in the future and what the world should be like for this to happen. It was about possible relations between Ukraine and Russia in 20 years..
