Part 3/7:
During their dialogue, Fridman and Zelenskyy discuss the difficult relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Zelenskyy argues that it is overly simplistic to view Putin as a madman; rather, he posits that Putin has a distorted sense of love for Russia, illustrated by his aggressive actions towards Ukraine and elsewhere.
Zelenskyy stresses the importance of being strong before negotiating with Russia, calling for security guarantees and international support for Ukraine. He points out past failures in peace talks like the Minsk agreements, arguing for a more robust international security arrangement to prevent further aggression from Russia.
