Russia was counting on a big scandal yesterday, and some emotions were heard in the media space, believes Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

"Yesterday there was a meeting in London. And indeed European countries were present: Ukraine, Britain, France, Germany, and the USA. Yesterday there was a conversation. It ended in any case. It was not easy, but constructive," Zelenskyy said at a joint press conference with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa following the talks in South Africa.

According to the president, the talks in London ended not with disagreements, but with a desire to work further.

"I am sure that Russia was counting on a big scandal yesterday. And even some emotions were heard in the media space. But these are still emotions. Russia does not like the alliance around Ukraine, because Ukraine, if it is alone, is an easier target for Russia," Zelenskyy noted.
