“We have said before, and now we confirm that it is necessary to build relations between Russia and Ukraine on the principles of friendship, mutual respect, in the interests of the peoples of our countries,” he wrote in his Telegram.

Thus, he reacted to the statement by the chairman of the political council of the Opposition Platform - For Life party, Viktor Medvedchuk, who spoke about the need for dialogue between the State Duma and the Verkhovna Rada.

Earlier it was reported that groups were formed in the State Duma for interaction with the parliaments of other countries, including Britain, the United States and Ukraine.

Deputy Evgeny Popov became the curator of the group for relations with Ukraine.

In this regard, the Ukrainian party "Opposition Platform - For Life" (OPPL) declared the importance of dialogue between the parliaments of Ukraine and Russia.
