President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Ukraine and Russia do not discuss the issue of lifting sanctions during negotiations. Thus, during an interview with ERT, he denied one of the statements of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

" Precisely in certain agreements that have not yet taken place, which groups, representatives of the Ukrainian and Russian delegations spoke about, the issue of lifting sanctions was not raised and cannot be raised,"

He recalled that sanctions were imposed on the Russian Federation for the illegal annexation of Crimea, the occupation of part of the Donbass and the full-scale invasion on February 24.

" Until the war is over, until we take back our territories. So far, unfortunately, Russia is where it is - on our soil, and continues its pressure. None of this ended. I am surprised in principle that the issue of lifting sanctions is being raised,"
