Russian representative at UN says Ukraine does not express readiness for serious negotiations

The first deputy permanent representative of the Russian Federation to the UN called the conditions put forward by Kyiv for negotiations “ridiculous.”

Ukraine is not ready for serious negotiations on the settlement, the conditions put forward by it are ridiculous. This was announced on Friday, August 5, by Dmitry Polyansky, First Deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN, on the air of The Dive podcast.

“As for the peace talks, Ukraine does not show any signs of a responsible position. They have some demands that cannot be put on the table in serious negotiations. Therefore, we have not yet come to this. Ukraine only makes political statements that it is theoretically ready for negotiations with Russia. But they are ready to negotiate if Russia withdraws its troops, even from Donbass and Crimea, which is simply ridiculous. So we don’t have a realistic partner yet, so the special military operation continues,” he said.
