I believe a meeting between Putin and Zelensky is unrealistic; that's already obvious. But a three-way meeting, where Trump could get them to the negotiating table...

No, I absolutely don't believe it. In response to the question: "Do you believe in a meeting between the leaders of Russia and Ukraine?"

How likely is a meeting between Vladimir Putin and Zelensky?... If a meeting takes place, it will mean that the war is coming to an end.

I think that this meeting will take place someday. At some point, we will see Putin and Zelensky in the same room. In response to the question: "How expedient and realistic do you see a meeting between Vladimir Zelensky and Putin in the near future?"

Our president is thinking about the elections, and he's thinking about them too early, and he thinks he has a chance to be re-elected. And because he is thinking not about the war, but about the elections, he will lose the elections regardless, if he lives to see them. Speaking about Zelensky.

This is a consistent policy of the Israeli state—to grant asylum to all Jews regardless of the reason they are compelled to repatriate. So of course Israel will protect Zelensky if he makes that decision.

I'm 99% sure that a meeting between Zelenskyy and Putin will never happen.
#Putin #Zelensky #War in Ukraine #Ukraine #Russia

And Zelensky also cares about security. He understands that stopping the war means immediate elections, immediate removal of this group from power, and the start of investigations into this group's activities after the elections.

There should be an election after the special military operation, and of course someone else will take the position. I'm more than sure it most likely won't be Zelensky. I don't think Zelensky will run for another term or that anyone will try to elect him — he's unelectable at this point. Talking about the presidential election in Ukraine.

There will be no direct negotiations between Putin and Zelensky. I have no doubt about that.

I don’t believe in any meeting between Putin and Zelensky.
#Putin #Zelensky #Russia #Ukraine

I still believe that two major figures dominate the political stage — Zelensky and Valerii Fedorovych Zaluzhnyi. And only one of them, not both, will run for president.
#Ukraine #Zelensky

I think he will run for re-election — for him, it’s almost a matter of life and death. The Ukrainian political landscape is quite toxic for former presidents. I believe that a lot could be held against Volodymyr Zelensky after the war ends.
#Zelensky #Ukraine #Elections

I am absolutely convinced that when peace comes and elections are held according to the constitution, he will not run in those elections. I think that would be the wisest decision on his part. Speaking about Zelensky.
#Ukraine #Zelensky #Elections

Zelensky, I think, has slightly less than zero chance of becoming the post-war president.
#Zelensky #Ukraine #Elections

A similar situation is unfolding in Ukraine right now. The choices aren’t great either. Ukraine is slowly moving toward authoritarianism. There’s already a propaganda campaign instead of a free information environment. The security forces are beginning to dominate as well. I think they’ll remove Zelensky from power, and gradually, security forces and intelligence services will start to take control.

Zelensky is submitting an application for Ukraine's entry into NATO. However, it won't be accepted because most NATO countries do not want to engage in a direct war with Russia.
#Ukraine #NATO #Zelensky

Will the backstage players remove Zelensky?... I think his days are numbered, as are Ermak's... I believe these two individuals will be eliminated.
#Ukraine #Zelensky

I can hardly imagine that Zelensky will take any other position. About the goal of pushing the enemy back to the borders of 1991
#War in Ukraine #Zelensky #Ukraine

What does a favorable scenario for Ukraine in the war look like today? Everything will stop... and the losses that have been incurred will be recorded... This is a scenario that neither Zelensky's cabinet nor the people who made political decisions over the past two years will survive. The scenario of stopping the war along the current line of combat contact will not be survived by Zelensky's team.

We'll see. Response to Liza Lazerson's remark: "Volodymyr Zelensky will never meet with Putin." (Judging by the intonation, Maxim Shevchenko implies that such a meeting will take place)
#War in Ukraine #Zelensky #Putin #Ukraine #Russia

Volodymyr Zelensky will never meet with Putin.
#War in Ukraine #Zelensky #Putin #Ukraine #Russia

It is already clear that Trump will not sign anything with Zelensky (well, let’s leave a 1-2 percent chance for an extreme scenario—though an alien arrival seems like a slightly more likely scenario).
#Trump #Zelensky #USA #Ukraine #War in Ukraine

I think that, of course, one of the outcomes of these processes will be Zelensky’s departure in one way or another.
#Zelensky #Ukraine

Most likely, Zelensky will resign this year.

The elections in Ukraine are now obviously going to happen, but something tells me that Zelensky’s main problem is not Poroshenko at all. Rather, it is his increasingly apparent unsuitability for this position—both for Trump and for Putin. All parties involved in the deal would prefer to see someone as president of Ukraine who has made no prior commitments, has never called anyone a murderer, and has not made hundreds of other statements that are now awkward for the high-level negotiating sides. So, I would bet that Zelensky will either lose the election or suddenly decide not to run, so as not to cast a shadow over the brave new world.
#Ukraine #Zelensky #Elections

Zelensky will not run for a second term.
#Zelensky #Ukraine #Elections

In the foreseeable future, it will not happen, from my point of view. I don't know, I could be wrong. In response to the question: "Maxim, when will the meeting between Putin and Zelensky take place, if it happens?"
#War in Ukraine #Zelensky #Putin #Ukraine #Russia

I don't think what's happening in Istanbul can be considered a step towards peace in any way. As for a high-level meeting, it won't happen in the format proposed by Ukraine. Russia won't agree to Ukraine's proposal for a meeting between Zelenskyy and Putin.
#War in Ukraine #Ukraine #Russia #Zelensky #Putin

Right now it's difficult to imagine that this meeting would take place... A trilateral meeting, from my point of view, is absolutely unrealistic... it won't happen now. In response to the question: "Will there be a three-way meeting after all with Trump, Putin, and Zelensky?"
#War in Ukraine #Trump #Putin #Zelensky #Russia #Ukraine #USA

Zelensky will be in Berlin tomorrow. He wouldn’t have gone if there weren’t a firm promise to provide Taurus missiles. His visit, in fact, signals that the agreement to supply such weapons is being put into action.
#War in Ukraine #Ukraine #Russia #Germany #Zelensky

And I can get it stopped. I will have that stopped before I assume... I will... if I win the election, the first thing I'm going to do is get Putin and get Zelenskyy, I know them both very well, and get them to make a deal because it's crazy. He will ensure that Putin and Zelenskyy start peace negotiations.

Zelensky will cancel his decree, and Putin — if he wants to. He simply doesn’t want to. We must gradually begin to let go of the illusion of these negotiations and realize that, in reality, they’ve already fallen apart. On the potential negotiations between Ukraine and Russia — or between Zelensky and Putin personally — in the near future. And even if they do happen, they will lead to nothing.
#War in Ukraine #Ukraine #Russia #Zelensky #Putin

Trump will fail in his attempt to establish peace... The big question is whom Trump will blame for the breakdown of negotiations—Putin or Zelensky. And I strongly suspect that it will be more convenient and cost-effective for Trump to place the blame for the failed talks on Zelensky.
