Peskov noted that "it is better for Putin to shake hands without raising the issue of Crimea."
At the same time, in the situation with the Donbass, Peskov said that "Putin should not shake hands, but Minsk agreements must be implemented."
“And then it will be possible to shake hands with each other and congratulate the Ukrainians on resolving their intra-Ukrainian conflict,” the spokesman added.
Earlier it was reported that Putin and Zelensky before the start of negotiations in the Norman format shook hands.
Crimea became the Russian region after a referendum held there in March 2014, in which most residents spoke out for reunification with Russia.
