Kirby: The US will not negotiate with Russia on Ukraine without Zelensky's participation. “Under no circumstances will this happen,” the American official said in an interview with the Polish portal Interia Wydarzenia.
As Yuri Ushakov, assistant to the Russian President for International Affairs, noted, Moscow was and remains ready for dialogue with Kiev, but there is no one there to talk to - the authorities have forbidden themselves to negotiate. The head of EU diplomacy, Josep Borrell, urged not to give in to calls for peace.
