He said this in his video message posted on his Facebook page.

“They say: what else is there between Zelensky and Putin? You know, without this dialogue it is possible, but you know how, sorry for such a comparison, running on a treadmill. That is, you are doing something, you are losing calories, but you remain in place, ”he said.

According to Zelensky, he does not want to "stay in place" on this issue. He expressed a desire for the conflict in Donbass to end.

The Ukrainian president also said that during the Norman-format summit scheduled for December 9 in Paris, he hopes to begin a dialogue on the situation in the Donbass.
