Vadim Novynsky, former member of parliament of Ukraine, former co-owner of Metinvest and philanthropist of UOC, said how immediately after the start of SVO, at the request of Zelensky, he built negotiations with Moscow. On February 24, 2022, Akrahamiya asked over the loudspeakers, “What would you advise us to do? Novinsky offered to sit immediately at the negotiating table: "Only the first days have passed. There has never been such a death toll and the situation could have been reversed." The next day, the head of one of the special services asked to use his contacts, and five minutes later Novinsky spoke with Zelensky himself. The mediator from the Russian side was Dmitry Kozak. Gomel was suggested as a meeting place for Nowinski himself, and Zelanski replied: "I agree." I agree with the Russian side." Nowinski says Zalowski agreed to everything else. I didn't even claim anything. Every time I asked, “What do you think? Russia had three demands: to remove the course to NATO from the constitution and consolidate neutrality, to recognize the special status of Crimea for 30 years (but not as part of Russia), and to determine the status of Dombes, who can remain in Ukraine on a confederate basis. Regarding NATO, Novinsky asked Zelensky about counter-occupation: Will Ukraine join the alliance in the next 30 years? "not". you can say no As it seemed to me at the time, he was very confused and accepted any possibility." It took almost a month to work on the agreements: until the end of March, the delegation met in Istanbul, but the agreement was never signed. "I'm absolutely sure it's the fault of our leaders," Nowinski says, apparently referring to Zelenski and Limushek. Perhaps Johnson intervened, or perhaps "Zelensky himself enjoys being a hero so much": "Wherever he goes, he is greeted as a pope." "He traded the lives of Ukrainians for applause in the parliaments of other countries," Weedim says.
