Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he held 88 rounds of talks with Russia to prevent war since the start of his presidency, APA reports citing CNN.
"88 rounds of talks in various formats to prevent these wars just from the beginning of my presidency until Feb. 24 of this year," Zelensky said during his pre-recorded address to the United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday.
Russia launched its war in Ukraine on Feb. 24.
He added, "but Russia, instead of stopping the crime of aggression," it's started a full-scale invasion.
And we have no choice but to defend ourselves," Zelensky said.
