Statements about the probable meeting of the presidents of Russia and Ukraine are once again being voiced by representatives of the authorities in Kiev.
Thus, the head of the office of the head of state, Andriy Yermak, noted the importance of the negotiations taking place. In turn, Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba suggested that the conversation “would create a lot of discomfort” for the Russian leader.
“As the president said, he himself spoke in favor of these negotiations, and he appealed to the Russian president, we remember. And so I can say that, of course, it is important, it is important that this meeting, these negotiations take place. But we constantly hear from Russian officials that something does not suit them and that there is no agenda, they will discuss these issues, these are not ready”, Yermak said on the air of the ICTV channel.
According to Kuleba, the meeting between Putin and Zelensky is “absolutely advisable” if “it helps to achieve peace in Ukraine.”
“The President of Ukraine absolutely clearly knows our red lines, and if such a conversation took place, I am convinced that it would have been conducted from an offensive position and would have created a lot of discomfort for President Putin in a one-on-one conversation”, Kuleba also said on the air of ICTV.
