Lavrov on Zelensky's position on negotiations with Russia: it’s not harmful to dream. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova suggested that Zelenski is nervous about possible elections in Ukraine.

The Kremlin also drew attention to the fact that the statements of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry about certain negotiations with Moscow contradict the fact Kyiv has officially banned dialogue with Moscow. Earlier, Zelenska said that peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine could begin without the Ukrainian state returning to the 1991 borders.
