The countries that refused to participate in the Swiss meeting on Ukraine expressed their unwillingness to waste time.
Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov expressed this view.
“An absolutely understandable position. Countries do not want to take part in an event in which there is no goal-setting,” said the Kremlin spokesman.
Peskov stressed that to discuss the conflict without Russia’s participation is “absolutely absurd goal-setting.”
Earlier, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zakharova explained what the participants in the “Swiss conference” should do.
