"Russia will cut itself off from negotiations": Zelenskyy on show "trial" of captured Ukrainian defenders

He said this during the evening address.

Zelenskyy said that there are enough reports in the mass media that in Mariupol they are preparing the scenery for the "trial" of Ukrainian defenders.

"No matter what the occupiers are thinking there, no matter what they are planning, the reaction of our state will be completely understandable. If this despicable trial takes place, if our people are brought into these settings in violation of all agreements, all international rules, there will be abuse... This  will be the line along which any negotiations are impossible. Russia will cut itself off from the negotiations. There will be no more talks. Our state has said everything," the president said.

Zelenskyy added that all partners of Ukraine are informed about what the terrorist state can prepare for this week.

"Today I spoke with President Macron about all the threats. Turkish President Erdogan is also informed about all this. The UN Secretary General, I am sure, will also react. They and other world leaders have received the appropriate signals from us. Everyone understands everything. They understand what the occupiers are doing  and what it threatens. And they understand that Ukraine will not tolerate this," he added.
