"For instance, intelligence showed me the so-called 'Dmitriev package,' which he presented in the U.S. — it involves a volume of about $12 trillion. It is supposedly a package of economic cooperation between America and Russia," the president said.
The Ukrainian leader made it unequivocally clear that his country would not endorse any agreements that might be concluded by other parties without its participation.
