"Putin to speak in vain": Kuleba opposed negotiations with the Russian Federation

According to the minister, Ukraine categorically does not reject the idea of ​​negotiations, but it holds the position that it is impossible to reach peace with Putin. Kuleba recalled that on September 30, 2022, the NSDC of Ukraine adopted a legal resolution, which states that any negotiations with Vladimir Putin are impossible. This decision was made in response to Russia's attempt to annex the occupied territories. "The point is not that we did not try.

Ukraine made numerous attempts to achieve peaceful settlement," Kuleba told reporters. According to him, since the admission of President Vladimir Zelensky in 2019, Ukraine held 88 rounds of negotiations with Russia through France and Germany. However, these efforts did not lead to anything. "Russia has trampled all these efforts and instead chose a barbaric, genocidal aggressive war," Kuleba said.

Journalists noted that the last attempt to direct negotiations with Russia was in Istanbul in July 2022. Since then, any dialogue has been conducted through the UN mediation. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs noted that Ukraine also tried to understand the Russian Federation even after the start of a full -scale invasion of February 24, 2022. Instead of finding a compromise, Russia only intensified its cruel attacks and announced plans to annex more Ukrainian territories.

"President Zelensky made it clear that if Putin continues this annexation attempt, it will not be possible to talk to him," Kuleba said. According to him, Putin wants only more war, stolen Ukrainian territories, killed by Ukrainians. Therefore, it must be crushed. It should be reminded that on March 17, the International Criminal Court in the Hague issued a warrant for Putin's arrest.

In addition to the Russian dictator, the Court in the Hague issued a warrant for the arrest of the President of Russia for the rights of the child Maria Lviv-Belova. It was also reported that in the International Criminal Court of Hague told what term the warrant has for the arrest of Putin. The chief prosecutor of the court, Khan, said that the President of the Russian Federation would remain the suspect until the end of his life or until the court has taken place.
