The White House said about the "wrong time" for talks between Russia and Ukraine

According to Kirby, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky should name the time and terms of the negotiations.

“But even Zelensky will tell you that now is not the right time for this kind of discussion, and President (of Russia. -

) Vladimir Putin has definitely not shown signs of interest in negotiations,” RIA Novosti quotes him.

Kirby noted that Washington will continue to provide military assistance to Kyiv, "which already exceeds $7 billion from the US alone."

As the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov said earlier, at the moment, Western countries are betting on the continuation of the conflict in Ukraine, not allowing Kyiv to think about peace.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov called the statements of the West about the inadmissibility of negotiations between Moscow and Kyiv at this stage a manifestation of schizophrenia.
