“According to the Constitution of Ukraine, the president is elected for five years; there is no provision to extend these powers, even under martial law. It’s written there - read carefully,” he said during a meeting with heads of international news agencies.
“We don’t care who conducts the negotiations, even if it is the current head of the regime. I am ready to meet, but only at some final stage, so that we don’t sit endlessly dividing things but put an end to it. But the end must be definitive, with signatures from legitimate authorities. Otherwise, you know, the next person will come and throw it all away, and that’s not how it should be - we are dealing with serious issues. I do not refuse this, but a lot of work must be done,” he explained.
