Zelenskyy says meeting with Putin "not interesting for him"

The Ukrainian president has told Sky News that he is "not interested" in meeting Vladimir Putin for peace talks, saying he is a "nobody".

In an exclusive interview with Kay Burley, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he "doesn't understand who makes decisions in Russia" and that while Moscow asks for peace, it lies by attacking Ukraine with missiles.

Zelenskyy also responded to speculation of a Russian offensive in Ukraine in the coming weeks and recalled how he felt when he realised the invasion was beginning last year.

When asked whether a meeting with Putin would help to resolve the war, Zelenskyy said: "It is not interesting for me. Not interesting to meet, not interesting to speak... I really don't understand who makes decisions in Russia."

The president said people are his number one priority, adding: "I don't want to fight on Russian territory.

"I just want them to stop the war as quickly as possible, and leave our country as fast as possible.

"I can tell you for sure if they leave our territory, the war will stop. That's all."

When asked whether it was too late for talks, Zelenskyy said: "After a full-scale invasion, for me [Putin] is nobody."
