“Ukraine needs peace as a prerequisite for the development of the state. And for this we need a strong army, strengthening of sanctions against the aggressor country and conducting proper international negotiations, and not holding a referendum on peace with Russia, ”Interfax-Ukraine quotes it.

On May 21, it was reported that Zelensky was considering the possibility of holding a referendum on the issue of negotiations between Ukraine and Russia.

Subsequently, the Ukrainian leader answered negatively to the question of whether Kiev would conduct negotiations with Moscow.

The first president of Ukraine, Leonid Kravchuk, in an interview with FAN, recommended that the new head of state establish a dialogue with Moscow.
