“We want to reach an agreement with Ukraine, but right now it’s practically impossible, legally impossible. We need the decision to be recognized at the international level”, - the russian dictator vladimir putin told russian media.
According to the dictator, Ukraine made a “strategic mistake” by deciding not to hold elections.
“Russia is also in a state of armed conflict, but we held elections”, - putin said.
Putin also stated that only the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine has the right to extend its powers under martial law, and the president does not.
