The Ukrainian leader stated that even if Russia occupies Crimea, Zelenskyy will never recognize it as legitimate. This was reported by "Meduza" publication.
"There can be no talk about this - it contradicts our Constitution," Zelenskyy said.
He stated that negotiating Crimea or other Russian-occupied territories would prolong the war.
"As soon as we start talking about Crimea, a plan to prolong the war begins - this is precisely what Russia wants. We have already been living in a state of war for 12 years. The answer to this question is: there is no agreement with Russia on land issues," the Ukrainian leader added.
Zelenskyy also stated that the Ukrainian delegation has the authority to discuss a ceasefire (temporary cessation of hostilities) during negotiations in London.
