This is another ultimatum and we’re not prepared for ultimatums,” Zelensky said.“I’m ready for dialogue, we’re not ready for capitulation.”The Kremlin also said Monday that it wants Kyiv to cease military action and enshrine neutrality in its constitution, a proposal that Zelenskiy also appeared open to.“I have cooled over the issue a long time ago after we understood that NATO is not prepared to accept Ukraine,” Zelenskiy said.The Ukrainian leader reiterated his calls for Russian President Vladimir Putin to negotiate a ceasefire with him directly, calls the Kremlin has so far rejected.“What needs to be done is for President Putin to start talking, start dialogue instead of living in an information bubble without oxygen.”</blockquote>
