Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a decree to put into effect the decision of the National Security and Defence Council (NSDC), which rules out holding any negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Zelensky’s press service reported.
The document, published on Zelensky’s website, on Tuesday said that Ukraine’s NSDC deemed holding talks with Putin “impossible”.
With his decree, the Ukrainian President also instructed the government to prepare proposals for the creation of a multi-level security guarantee system designed to boost Ukraine’s defence potential, Xinhua news agency reported.
