Saakashvili: The meeting between Zelensky and Putin is very important for Ukraine
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky is absolutely right in considering it necessary to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The head of the Executive Committee of the National Reform Council, Mikheil Saakashvili, stated this in an interview with Deutsche Welle, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“I believe that the meeting with Putin is very important and very necessary, first of all, for Ukraine. I don’t understand those people who believe that talking under such circumstances is counterproductive. Talking is always productive unless, of course, you sign something that will later create problems and aggravate them.
Trying to resolve the issue, exhausting all diplomatic possibilities in order to avoid conflict is a duty, not just an opportunity, but a responsibility of any leader.
And Zelensky is absolutely right when he wants to meet with Putin and talk. Of course, not through humiliation, not through showing weakness. But in any case, we need to meet in person, we need to talk. Everything must be done to avoid further aggravation of the conflict through diplomacy. Not talking is not an option at all,” Saakashvili said.
