“Putin began to listen, not just to hear, but to listen to Zelensky,” Kravchuk quoted the 112 Ukraine TV channel.

The former president noted that after the talks between Putin and Zelensky, an exchange of prisoners took place between Russia and Ukraine.

He also added that now Russia has begun to look at Ukraine “as a state”.

On October 2, Leonid Kravchuk, in an interview with NSN, commented on the message that all members of the contact group in Minsk agreed on the Steinmeier formula for its implementation in Ukrainian legislation.
