Russia’s unrelenting assault on the city of Mariupol and the likely discovery of more Russian crimes against civilians will make further diplomatic talks impossible, said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Saturday, APA reports citing CNN.

"The destruction of all our guys in Mariupol -- what they are doing now -- can put an end to any format of negotiations," he said, according to an article posted on the presidential website.

It added that while Zelensky was open to discussions with Russian President Vladimir Putin, that is becoming less likely as Russia continues to escalate its war. If more apparent Russian war crimes surface, “there will be no chance that negotiations will be held," Zelensky said.

The article was titled: "The more Russia escalates, the less likely the President of Ukraine is to negotiate."
