President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that in the event of a "referendum" in Kherson Oblast, Ukraine will withdraw from any talks with Russia.

He said this during a conversation with Ukrainian and foreign media.

The same applies if Russia kills the defenders of Mariupol.

"If our people in Mariupol are killed, if pseudo-referendums are held in the occupied territories, Ukraine will withdraw from any negotiations," the president said.
