Zelenskyy said this during a briefing on the results of the tripartite meeting on Espreso TV. 

"Today, Erdoğan said that the food initiative, which is being successfully implemented, creates a diplomatic window of agreement regarding the future end of the war. My opinion is that we have no reason to trust Russia while Russian weapons are in this window. That is why I am surprised that Russia says that it is ready for peace - people who kill, rape, and hit civilian infrastructure with cruise missiles cannot want peace. First, Russia must leave our territory - then negotiations", he said.
