Currently, no negotiations with the Russian Federation are possible, since the Russian side cannot formulate any adequate positions. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi said this while participating in a panel discussion at the 17th meeting of the Yalta European Strategy “Ukraine in defense of our common freedom” .

“We want to end the war, but the space and opportunities have changed. Society does not want to talk to terrorists. Although you can even talk to terrorists, because they know what they want,” Zelenskyy said.
He emphasized that in the case of the Russian side, there is no certainty that they will keep their promises.
“I think they won’t. No one believes. They don’t shake hands,” said the President of Ukraine.
Zelensky noted: first of all, the Russian Federation needs to leave Ukrainian territories and stop behaving like a terrorist who started a full-scale war against our country. Then we can talk about diplomacy.
“In order for us to open a diplomatic corridor with them, they must show the political will that they are ready to give back foreign land. Then we can at least talk about some corridors that open certain diplomatic steps,” the head of state added.
