MOSCOW. Aug 8 (Interfax) - Referenda in Russia-controlled territories will make Ukraine-Russia talks impossible, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a video address on Sunday evening, as reported by the Ukrainian media.

"The stance of our country is unwavering: we won't give up anything of ours," Zelensky said.

In his words, the referenda will close "any opportunity for talks with Ukraine and the free world."
