«The American channel will continue. We count on the United States to put more pressure on Putin and not on us. Otherwise it is simply unfair.” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said this, responding to a question from Corriere della Sera. Although relations between the two allies are increasingly tense, a meeting, the newspaper reports, could take place as early as next week: «The American side has given us a signal» and «if they want to meet us in America, they should invite us. We will be ready.” «We are ready for any format: three, two, four, five or more, it doesn’t matter. What matters is peace”, Zelensky stated again, saying that the suspension of sanctions is “wrong”, it is a “reward to the aggressor” and certainly not a way to stop Vladimir Putin who is now “happy” to receive such support. The Ukrainian president returns in conclusion to ask that the Europeans build “their own infrastructure and their own channel of negotiation with Russia” because, he says, “we must take every possible path to stop the war”.
