The head of the State Department said that Russia is pushing the rhetoric that Moscow is interested in negotiations, but Kyiv and the West are not, which is incorrect.
“It seems to me that it is enough to look at Putin's words.
In a recent conversation with Turkish President Erdogan, he said that until Ukraine accepts the new territorial realities, as he put it, there is nothing to agree on, ”TASS quoted Blinken as saying at a joint press conference with British Foreign Secretary James Cleverley .
He noted that this position has no chance of success in the issue of starting negotiations.
Earlier, the press secretary of the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, said that a “peace plan” for Ukraine cannot exist without taking into account the entry into Russia of four new regions.
