“I think that the statement of the head of administration, one way or another, reflects the position of official Kiev. For Russia, this is a positive signal. I want to note that the recent words of President Zelensky about the possible holding of a referendum for Ukrainians about their attitude to the negotiation process with Russia on the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics are a move that will help the new head of state. This is a very positive dynamic, ”said the deputy.

Earlier, Bogdan said that negotiations between Kiev and Moscow are necessary if Ukraine wants to achieve peace in the Donbass.
