Zelensky's Presidential Advisor Says Ukraine Negotiating With Russia Would Be 'Capitulation'

Ukrainian Presidential Adviser Mykhailo Podolyak  

Daily Mail: Ukraine says negotiating with Russia would be 'capitulation': Zelensky's presidential advisor condemns West's 'bizarre' attempts to persuade them to enter peace talks as they refuse to stop offensive against Putin's forces 

* Mykhaylo Podolyak condemned West's efforts to persuade Ukraine to negotiate 

* This would mean the country 'who is recovering its territories is losing,' he said 

* He also warned against trusting any Russian suggestions of peace negotiations 

* Podolyak said this is merely an attempt to stall to allow Russian units to regroup 

* The comments from Zelensky's adviser came as stunning footage emerged showing the moment a Russian tank was blown sky high by Ukrainian explosives  

The West's attempts to persuade Ukraine to negotiate with Moscow are 'bizarre' and amount to asking for its capitulation, a key adviser to the Ukrainian presidency has declared. 

'When you have the initiative on the battlefield, it's slightly bizarre to receive proposals like: ''you will not be able to do everything by military means anyway, you need to negotiate,'' said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's adviser Mykhaylo Podolyak. 

This would mean that the country 'that recovers its territories, must capitulate to the country that is losing,' he added during an interview in the presidency building in Kyiv this week.
