We have no direct dialogue with Russian side, - Zelenskyy
Kyiv does not maintain direct contact with Russia, limiting itself to communication through the United States. At the same time, increased pressure from Washington on Moscow may force it to make certain compromises.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced this while answering questions from journalists, according to Censor.NET, with reference to Ukrinform.
Dialogue through Americans
"We have no direct dialogue with the Russian side. And in (our - Ed.) dialogue with the American side, they, so to speak, represent the Russian side, because they talk about their signals, demands, steps, readiness or unwillingness," Zelenskyy said.
Regarding compromises with Russia, he noted that if the US and its partners exert pressure, Russia "must compromise."
