Ukrainian president Volodimir Zelensky has become known for his leadership of his country as Russia has invaded over the past week, and his latest statement directly addresses Russian president Vladimir Putin.
Tensions remain high, despite an agreement for humanitarian corridors, and Zelensky has called for more negotiations.
Sit down with me at the negotiations table, I’m free,” Zelensky said at a press conference with international media present.
“Just not 30 metres away like with [French president, Emmanuel] Marcron or [German chancellor, Olaf] Scholz.
“I’m a neighbour, I don’t bite, I’m a normal man.
“What are you afraid of? I’m not a terrorist.”
Zelensky was addressing the press in a search for international support.
“The whole world started making decisions too late,” he said in a recent television address.
“I want to thank the countries that are helping with weapons.
