In his opinion, the Zelensky administration “should not wait for an impulse from society, but form the agenda itself” for the release of sailors.
“It's no time for jokes - it's time to act! Every Ukrainian politician should remember the truth - one should not flirt with Russia or believe in its good faith, ”he wrote.
Earlier, Zelensky said that Russia, if the decision of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea regarding the release of Ukrainian seamen was implemented, "could take a step towards unblocking the negotiations."
Three Ukrainian warships and 24 sailors were detained on November 25, 2018, after they illegally crossed the Russian border.
