“The readiness of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky to meet only with Russian President Vladimir Putin to continue the negotiation process is “pure PR,” Polyansky was quoted as saying on the Telegram channel of journalist Vladimir Solovyov.
Earlier, Zelensky said he was ready to meet with Russian leader Vladimir Putin only to discuss ending the conflict.
Prior to this, the Kremlin said that Putin, during a conversation with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, assessed the state of affairs in the negotiations between Moscow and Kyiv, which, in fact, were blocked by the Ukrainian side.
