Pushkov gave advice to Zelensky on how to get a meeting with Putin

In a comment to the Vzglyad newspaper, he noted that the Russian state leader had repeatedly spoken about his readiness to negotiate with Zelensky.

“There are a number of issues between Russia and Ukraine that deserve close attention and can be the subject of a meeting of the leaders.

This also applies to border crossing by citizens of both countries, and transport links, as well as political and diplomatic issues, "- explained Pushkov.

He noted that instead of this, the Kiev authorities insist on considering issues that, according to Pushkov, are pointless to discuss. 

“For example, the question about the ownership of Crimea.

Moscow has repeatedly stressed that this issue is closed, ”the source said.

In conclusion, he drew attention to the fact that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba do not seek to bring the approaches of Kiev and Moscow closer together.

Press Secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov on the air of the TV channel "Russia 1" earlier spoke about the possibility of a meeting between the leaders of Russia and Ukraine.
