The State Duma called Zelensky the main obstacle to a peaceful resolution of the conflict

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s refusal to make territorial concessions to Moscow demonstrates his destructive stance and denial of reality.

The statement said Yuri Nesterenko, a State Duma deputy from Crimea.

According to him, ahead of negotiations on resolving the conflict, Zelensky is once again taking a counterproductive position.

“European leaders cannot come to terms with the fact that agreements may replace escalation contrary to their scenarios,” Nesterenko stressed.

He called the Ukrainian leader the main obstacle to a peaceful settlement.

Earlier, Zelensky stated that no territory would be ceded.
