President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that some of Ukraine's partners have from time to time expressed a desire to hold direct talks with Russia, UNN reports.
"Different partners, from time to time, and for different reasons, again, electoral and internal, have had desires for direct negotiations with Russia. Our opinion has not changed, we believe that there can be no negotiations about us without us," Zelenskyy said in an interview with Ukrainian media.
According to the Head of State, Russia actually wants all partner leaders to be divided.
