This was stated in an interview with reporters by the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov.

“After all, President Zelensky said that this could be the perfect meeting place.

Of course, neither the Vatican, if we understand correctly, nor the Russian side is officially aware of this so far.

We have not yet received any official information that such a proposal has been concretized and formulated, ”he said.

Peskov did not answer whether "President Putin is ready or not ready to go somewhere."

The Kremlin spokesman recalled the words of the head of state that Russia is not a party to the conflict in southeastern Ukraine, but Moscow is ready to discuss the Donbass issue within the framework of the Minsk Four.

“Putin himself noted that if he is ready to speak on bilateral relations, he will be glad to see President Zelensky in Moscow.

We have not yet seen any other specific formulations, ”added Peskov.

Earlier, Zelensky said in an interview with the newspaper La Repubblica that the Vatican would be the best place for "a dialogue about peace in Donbass."

On April 27, the Kremlin recalled that the dialogue between the presidents of Russia and Ukraine can only concern the problems of bilateral relations.

They also noted that the only correct step to resolve the situation in Ukraine can only be the implementation of the provisions of the Minsk package of measures and the establishment of "direct dialogue with representatives and leaderships of the two self-proclaimed republics."
