We cannot discuss the substance with Russia until they get out of our territory. Afterward, yes, we can start talking about the sanction, policy, lifting certain sanctions. We can talk about reparations. We can talk about the monetary payments from them, diplomacy, dialogue,” Zelensky said. “But after they vacate our territory because that's the new page of the history would start from there.
