Vladimir Zelenskyy’s statements about the end of the conflict are linked to the electoral cycles in the United States, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told Radio Sputnik.
“This rhetoric is linked again to the electoral cycles in the US. These are the signals that against the background of what is happening around the White House and the upcoming elections are sent by Bankova, in this context it should be considered,” RIA Novosti quoted her as saying.
According to the diplomat, one should not count on Zelenskyy’s sincerity in this matter.
Earlier he admitted that he realises the need to put an end to the conflict as soon as possible.
Before that, Zelensky admitted the possibility of negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin despite the ban on such processes in force in Ukraine.
