According to RIA Novosti, speaking at a meeting of the United Nations Security Council on September 24 (Washington time), Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke out against negotiations with Russia to resolve the conflict in Ukraine.

“This conflict cannot be resolved through negotiations, action is needed. Russia can only be forced to peace,” President Zelensky said, without specifying what actions he planned to take.

President Zelensky also criticized those who “want to talk” with Russian President Vladimir Putin about resolving the conflict. In addition, in his speech, he called for support for using his “peace formula” to resolve the conflict.

President Zelensky also called for “preparing a second peace summit” in Ukraine to end the conflict with Russia, but did not specify what would be discussed there. He also invited China, Brazil, Asian and Latin American countries, the United States and other countries to participate in the conflict resolution process.

“We must prepare a second peace summit to end the conflict,” Zelensky added.

Earlier, President Zelensky said in an interview with ABC News on September 24 that his so-called “victory plan for Ukraine” had nothing to do with negotiations with Russia, but was aimed at strengthening the Ukrainian Armed Forces. According to Zelensky, the plan was aimed at ending the conflict quickly, not dragging it out for several years.

A source close to President Zelensky also told ABC News that his initiative would include the military support Kiev needs, and a list of necessary political and diplomatic steps. He added that the plan does not include concessions to Russia.

At a meeting of the United Nations Security Council on September 24, Russia's permanent representative to the United Nations Vasily Nebenzya said that Kiev needs to "as quickly as possible" accept realistic parameters for resolving the long-term crisis and not fall into unrealistic "victory plans."

Representative Vasily Nebenzya said that Ukrainian President Zelensky came to the culminating week of the UN General Assembly in New York with an “outstretched hand”, trying to convince the West to raise its stakes in the conflict.
