After a possible pseudo-referendum on the "accession" of Donbas to Russia, there can be no talk of peace negotiations with Ukraine.

 This was stated by the head of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs and the leader of the LDPR, Leonid Slutsky, quoted by TARS.

 "Unfortunately, talk of negotiations cannot happen for a long time. The West and the "mobile junta in Kyiv" have declared that they are not ready for negotiations," says Slutsky.

 It should be noted that these statements by Russian officials sound, to put it mildly, funny. Because Bankova warned even earlier that after the "referendums" the Russian Federation will nullify the possibility of peace negotiations with Ukraine.

 At the same time, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy stated that "referendums" in the occupied territories will close the possibility of negotiations with Ukraine and the civilized world for the Russian Federation.

 We will remind that on September 24-27 in the self-proclaimed "DPR" and "LPR", as well as in the occupied parts of the Zaporizhzhya and Kherson regions, "referendums" on the so-called "joining Russia" are planned.
