The President of Ukraine, Olodimir Zelensky, accused us of a special envoy Steve Witco of “distributing Russian stories” after he suggested that a peaceful deal between Russia and Ukraine depended on the status of five Ukrainian regions.
After holding a five -hour Meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin On Friday, Witkoff told Fox News that the transaction after the war was “about these so -called five territories”.
“I think Mr. Vitkof has adopted the Russian side’s strategy,” Zelensky said at a press conference on Thursday.
“I think it is really dangerous, because it is consciously or unconsciously distributed by Russian stories.”
Vitkoff seemed to refer to the regions of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaparitzia and Kherson in eastern Ukraine, most of which was under Russian military occupation after Vladimir Putin launched a full -scale invasion in 2022 to take control of the whole country.
It is believed that the fifth region – Crimea, which Russia joined in 2014, was not recognized internationally.
“Our territories, they belong to our people and not only us, but also the future Ukrainian peoples … So I do not understand what it is talking about,” Zelensky said.
In his interview, Fox News Witkoff said: “This peaceful deal about these so -called five territories. But this is much more … I think we could be on the verge of something that would be very important for the world as a whole.”
“In addition, I believe that there is an opportunity to remodel relations with Russian states through some very convincing commercial opportunities, which, in my opinion, also give real stability of the region,” he added.
The US and Russia are negotiating to restore diplomatic relations.
Zelensky’s intervention was not the first to criticize Witco.
In March, he said, “He is not like a military man. He is not like a general, and he has no such experience. As far as I know, he is very good on sale and buying real estate. And it’s a little different.”
Comments from the Ukrainian leader appeared after us, Ukrainian and European diplomats met in Paris to discuss war – The group, which included the Secretary of State Witkoff and the United States, Mark Rubio.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump resumed Zelensky’s own criticism on Thursday. It seemed Starting the war But he said he was not a big fan.
“I do not bring responsible to Zelensky, but I’m not quite excited about the fact that this war began,” Trump said.
“I don’t blame him, but I say I wouldn’t say he did the biggest job, okay? I’m not a big fan.”
Zelensky also told reporters that China supplies weapons in Russia.
“We finally received information that China is supplying weapons to the Russian Federation,” he said.
“We believe that Chinese representatives are engaged in the production of some weapons in the Russian territory,” he added.
China has not yet answered, but previously represented itself a neutral party in the war.
Last week Zelensky in Beijing Responses Agreement Chinese citizens fought for Russia After advising “the appropriate sides correctly and soberly understand China’s role and not make irresponsible comments.”
