Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba told Xinhua news agency in an interview on Saturday, that the only way peace can be reestablished in Ukraine "is [through restoring] sovereignty over the entire territory within its internationally recognized borders."
Previously, Kuleba stated that a "security vacuum" in the region led to the conflict with Russia. He also called out the hypocrisy of certain countries and accused the West of using "excuses and half-measures" against Russia.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky earlier said that there is a significant risk that the peace negotiations with Russia will be brought to a halt, due to the alleged misdoings of its armed forces in parts of Ukraine they control.
