“I do not rule out that negotiations with Ukraine are possible,” RIA Novosti quotes Slutsky.

According to him, in order to continue the negotiations, Kyiv needs to stop the destructive action on its part.

As the minister noted, the Ukrainian negotiating group is being "led" by London and Washington - such information comes to Russia through several channels.
