De facto and de jure Ukraine can not and does not want to negotiate, the special operation will continue. Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters, RIA Novosti reported.
"We state the main thing that Kyiv's position, which has been repeatedly outlined by President Zelensky, shows that Ukraine both de facto and de jure cannot and does not want to negotiate. Accordingly, Russia's goals will be pursued through the continuation of a special military operation," Peskov said.
He also commented on French President Emmanuel Macron's call for a negotiation process on Ukraine.
"So far we are not observing a negotiating table," the Russian president's spokesman noted.
