“At some point, and I want it to be as soon as possible, it is necessary that all parties return to negotiations.

And I think that this will be in the interests of both Ukraine and Russia.

Ukraine will simply be obliged to do this, ”RIA Novosti quotes him.

Zelensky, in an address to the leaders of the G7 countries, announced again that he did not want to engage in dialogue with the Russian authorities regarding the settlement of the situation in Ukraine.

Prior to this, the President of Ukraine said that Kyiv is ready for negotiations with Moscow, but if there is another president in Russia.

As Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov noted, Putin's phrase that the longer negotiations drag on, the more difficult it will be to agree, must be taken seriously.
