During the interview, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he viewed it as positive that the talks took place in Switzerland, explaining that while he respects the Middle East and other regions, a war in Europe should be negotiated on the continent. He added that Europeans need to feel that the aggression affects both Ukraine and Europe.<\/p>\n

“I have always said this with full respect to the Middle East and other countries. But if the war is in Europe, then the place for negotiations should be here. Europeans need to feel that this is aggression against us and against Europe, and they must recognise it,” Zelenskyy stated. <\/p>\n

He also announced that the fourth round of negotiations would take place in Switzerland, noting that this is the information currently available to him and that more detailed updates would follow after the Ukrainian delegation returns.<\/p>\n
