Vodolatsky stressed that the Russian president is consistent in his actions. 

“Russia has always offered friendship and peace to everyone.

Today it is important for Russia to preserve peace not only around our borders, but in principle in every state.

For us, Ukraine is a special state.

Ukraine and Russia are one cultural code, these are our family ties ... Of course, we are worried about what is happening on the territory of Ukraine, ”the deputy explained.

According to the parliamentarian, if Zelensky is “a sane person, if he respects his people and his state,” then he must respond to the appeal. 

Earlier, Putin announced his readiness to receive Zelensky in Moscow.

The Russian President noted that if Zelensky wants to start restoring relations, then Russia will only welcome this.
