«The Time for Negotiations Between Ukraine and Russia Has Not Yet Arrived» - Zelensky

«The time for negotiations between Ukraine and Russia has not yet arrived», announced Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in an interview with The Economist.

“Some of Kyiv’s partners might view the slow pace of the Ukrainian armed forces’ counter-offensive as a reason to persuade the Ukrainian side to talk with Moscow, but now is a bad time for negotiations because Russian President Putin shares the same opinion,” explained the Ukrainian leader.
