“You see, it is very difficult to speak with Mr. Zelensky.

Mr Zelenskiy, for example, stubbornly calls Russia a party to the conflict in the southeast of the country.

This is not so, ”he told journalist Pavel Zarubin.

Peskov recalled that the parties to the conflict are described in the Minsk complex of measures, which is a UN document.

As Peskov noted earlier, Kiev's reluctance to comply with the Minsk agreements is an obstacle to the necessary contacts between Russia and Ukraine and to discuss a possible meeting of the leaders of the two countries.
