He said this on the air of the program “Moscow. Kremlin. Putin. "

According to him, a possible meeting between the presidents of Russia and Ukraine Vladimir Putin and Vladimir Zelensky will be useful for understanding how Zelensky sees the movement towards the implementation of the Minsk agreements after ambiguous and contradictory statements made by representatives of his office.

He also said that the opportunity for the presidents of the two countries to discuss relations between Russia and Ukraine does not depend on Moscow. Lavrov said that the Russian side did not reduce bilateral relations and did not interrupt transport links.

“If the Ukrainian side, as many experts in Kiev say now, is interested in resuming them, I think that it will not rust behind us,” RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.

Earlier it became known that the summit in the Norman format, scheduled for December 9, is planned to be held in the Champs Elysees.
