On the 18th local time, Ukrainian media quoted the head of the Ukrainian delegation of the Russian-Ukrainian negotiating party and the chairman of the parliamentary group of the Ukrainian People's Servant Party, Arahamia, as saying that Ukraine may resume negotiations with Russia at the end of August.
Alahamia pointed out that before restarting the negotiations, the Ukrainian side will consolidate its negotiating position through a series of counter-offensive plans.
In this regard, Medvedev, the vice chairman of the Russian Federation Security Council, responded on social media that day, saying that he was skeptical about "whether there is something to talk about and who to talk to" about the negotiations that the Russian-Ukrainian delegation may resume in August.
