“You know, it had no personal dimension, I must say frankly,” the Russian leader explained at a press conference following talks with Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.
The President noted that he never got personal in his work.
He noted that “the only question is” that when comments appear from the head of state about “what one likes and dislikes in fundamental agreements that regulate very important relations between countries in terms of security , including Ukraine itself”, then this is “the wrong format”.
According to the Russian leader, if the state has assumed certain obligations, then they must be fulfilled and "agree on how to do this."
Earlier, Russian and French Presidents Vladimir Putin and Emmanuel Macron held talks in Moscow.
At a press conference following the talks, Putin said that the Ukrainian government had set a course for the dismantling of the Minsk agreements.
“The incumbent recently said that he does not like a single point from these Minsk agreements.
Well, like it, don't like it - be patient, my beauty.
You have to do it, it won't work any other way," he said.
Later, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky commented on the words of the Russian leader.
The White House also commented on the statement.
