This was reported by the press service of the Kremlin.

“Special attention is paid to the state of affairs on the negotiation track, which is frozen due to the fault of Kyiv.

Vladimir Putin confirmed the openness of the Russian side to the resumption of dialogue," the statement said.

The Russian Foreign Ministry noted that Russian-Ukrainian negotiations are in a state of stagnation.

According to the chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs, a member of the negotiating group from Russia, Leonid Slutsky, negotiations between Russia and Ukraine are not being conducted in any format.
