Moscow: We are ready to negotiate seriously about Ukrainian peace

Russian Deputy Minister of Affairs Sergei Ryabkov said Tuesday that Moscow is ready to seriously and responsiblely participate in negotiations on Ukraine, but the current Kiev’s current rule is unable to negotiate.

“It is too early to anticipate something about this,” Rihanovast News agency reported that Ryabkov told reporters, referring to possible peace talks in Istanbul. You have to ask Kiev and its supporters, are they ready to negotiate? Our understanding is that with the current approach, the only description that can be made is their inability to negotiate. We are ready to negotiate seriously.

Ukrainian President Walodimir Zelksky today criticized Moscow’s silence about participating in Istanbul talks and stressed his readiness to participate in fundamental and direct talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Istanbul.

“The issue of a possible visit to Istanbul is how to ensure a reliable and sustainable resolution of the Ukrainian war,” Rihanovast said. It is necessary to recognize and recognize the events in Ukraine, including the incorporation of new lands to Russia.

Earlier, the Russian president rejected the proposal of Kiev and its European allies to establish an restless ceasefire in Ukraine, and in return for direct and without prerequisite talks with Ukraine.

The Turkish government has announced its readiness to host these talks in Istanbul.
