Zelensky ready to negotiate directly with Putin. (2022-03-23)

Zelensky said that he will be willing to discuss a commitment from Ukraine to not seek NATO membership in exchange for a ceasefire, the withdrawal of Russian troops, and guarantee of Ukraine security. Of course, the Russians will not negotiate with him because he has to meet the four points the Russians demanded, and Putin will not even put one sock on to go meet Zelensky, because Zelensky is considered by the Russian government as the illegitimate president of Ukraine since the 2014 overthrow of a democratically elected government.
