Zelenskyy criticises Scholz's call to Putin: There will be no Minsk-3
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, reacting on the call between the German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and the Kremlin ruler, stated that while this action may serve as a catalyst for future talks with Vladimir Putin, that there will be no Minsk-3 agreement, and that Ukraine needs real peace [Minsk agreements are international agreements signed by Ukraine, Russia, and the OSCE which sought to end the war in Donbas – ed.].

Quote: "On one of today's news. Chancellor Scholz informed me that he was going to call Putin. Olaf's call, I believe, opens Pandora's box. There may now be other talks or calls. Just a lot of words.
And this is exactly what Putin has always desired: it is critical for him to weaken his isolation, as well as Russia's isolation, and to engage in routine conversations that will yield no results. He'd been doing it this way for decades. This allowed Russia to avoid changing its strategy or doing anything at all, which is what led to this war.
We now understand all of these problems. We understand how to act. And we want to be clear: Minsk-3 will not happen; we need real peace."
