Watch: Zelensky says there will be no talks with Putin if Ukrainian land is annexed

Ukraine’s president has warned that Russia’s “sham referendums” and attempts to annex Ukrainian territory rule out any talks with Moscow as long as Vladimir Putin remains president.

Speaking at a meeting of the UN Security Council, Mr Zelensky urged the countries present to suspend Russia’s membership of the organisation.
