President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Ukraine and Russia the lifting of sanctions is not discussed during the talks. Thus, during an ERT interview, he refuted one of the statements of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
“I do not know this information, which the Russian Foreign Minister said. Exactly in certain agreements that have not yet happened, which were discussed by groups, representatives of Ukrainian and Russian delegations, the issue of lifting sanctions was not raised and it cannot be raised, “Zelensky said.
He reminded that sanctions against Russia were imposed for the illegal annexation of Crimea, the occupation of Donbass and the full-scale invasion on February 24.
“Strong sanctions have been imposed for this – for the killings, for the occupation and for the illegal invasion. So far the war is not over, we have not returned our territories. So far, unfortunately, Russia is where it is on our land, and it continues to put pressure on it. None of this is over. I am surprised in principle that the issue of lifting sanctions is being raised, “Zelensky said.
