President's Office: There will be no diplomacy if Russia holds pseudo-referendums

• 0 min read

Russia's plans to hold sham referendums on occupied territories will not affect the position of President Volodymyr Zelensky and Ukraine's Armed Forces, Zelensky's spokesman Serhii Nykyforov told Liga.net on Sept. 20.

"All internationally-recognized Ukrainian territories will be liberated," Nykyforov added.
