“Well, this is the same, sorry, hypothetical nonsense that we repeatedly hear from representatives of Kiev in completely different areas.
This is the same as the statement by the press secretary of the President of Ukraine about a certain "Ukrainian Russian".
These are of the same order of things, ”Zakharova said during the briefing.
She added that this idea has long been nurtured by the political leadership of Ukraine.
“The point is Kiev’s purposeful line to disrupt the fulfillment of the obligations undertaken within the framework of the Minsk complex of measures to resolve the internal Ukrainian conflict on the basis of direct dialogue with Donetsk and Lugansk,” the diplomat said.
Earlier, Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine - Minister for "Temporarily Occupied Territories" Alexei Reznikov said that Kiev insists on finding another city instead of Minsk for negotiations on Donbass.
According to him, the Ukrainian side “has no confidence” in Belarus.
The head of the Ukrainian delegation to the trilateral contact group on Donbass, Leonid Kravchuk, called for a neutral and "highly authoritative" country in Europe to be chosen for such negotiations.
