Zelensky repeats his rejection of negotiations with Putin
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has reiterated his rejection of negotiations with Russia before a withdrawal of Russian troops.
“Talks would only be possible if Russia withdraws its soldiers, admits its mistake and there is a new government in Moscow,’’ Zelensky said on Thursday.
“ Only then would talks be possible,’’ he said.
The president had already banned negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin by decree at the end of September 2022.
