President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, during his annual appeal to the Parliament, stated that Ukraine would not be able to stop the war and return Donbas to control without direct dialogue with Russia.
«We have to tell the truth. We will not be able to stop the war without direct negotiations with Russia, and so far everyone has admitted this. All external partners, but some internal partners do not admit this. We must tell, knowing that we have a strong, powerful army, and not be afraid now to tell each other the truth. If we want to return Donbas, then let's do it, but if we just want to talk about it, then let's do nothing,» the President stated.
