MOSCOW, October 21. /TASS/. The recent talks on settling the Ukrainian conflict did not involve Vladimir Zelensky; Moscow did not have any contact with him, Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov told reporters.

"We had no contact with Zelensky. The things we discussed a while ago, we did so without him," the Kremlin aide noted.

Earlier, US President Donald Trump stated that a joint signing of documents by Russian leader Vladimir Putin and Zelensky is not necessary for settling the Ukrainian conflict. According to him, this can be achieved in another way.
