“As for the efforts of Turkey, as well as the proposals of other countries, for example, Saudi Arabia offers its mediation services, the United Arab Emirates, and they have such opportunities,” Putin said.

He noted that the success of the negotiations depended on the readiness of the parties to fulfill the agreements reached, and the Kyiv authorities had no such desire.

Earlier, the press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov said that there is no talk of a possible resumption of negotiations with Ukraine now.
