Vlad, get out of your ‘bubble’ and let’s talk to end this war: Zelenskyy

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of living in a “bubble” and called for dialogue to end the Russian invasion.

In an exclusive interview with ABC News airing Monday, Zelenskyy suggested Putin is surrounded by yes-men and lacks accurate information about the war in Ukraine.

“President Putin needs to start the dialogues and stop living in the informational bubble without oxygen,” Zelenskyy told anchor David Muir. “He is in this bubble . ... You don’t know how realistic that information is that he’s getting.”

Zelenskyy did offer a glimmer of hope when asked about Russian demands that Ukraine declares that it will not join the European Union or NATO and grant independence to two breakaway regions and the Crimea, which Russia grabbed in 2014.

Even as he trashed the new statements as an “ultimatum” from the Kremlin, Zelenskyy said Ukraine has its own “possible resolutions” to the three issues.

“This is another ultimatum, and we are not prepared for ultimatums,” said Zelenskyy, who wore an olive-green military-style outfit. “But we have possible resolutions for these three items, key items.”

Despite the brutal invasion, some analysts say Russia and Ukraine are not necessarily far apart on the three key disputes. Ukraine was not expected to join NATO anytime soon, and Russia has been in de facto control of parts of the eastern Donbas region for years, along with Crimea.

Zelenskyy has won wide praise for his tough-talking interviews given from undisclosed hideouts in the beleaguered capital of Kyiv.

The former TV actor has refused offers by the U.S. and other allies to evacuate him, preferring to stay and lead his nation’s struggle to rebuff the Russian invasion.
