This was stated by First Deputy Secretary of the Russian Security Council Rashid Nurgaliev in an interview with Arguments and Facts.
“Russia has never opposed the resumption of the negotiation process. But now, unfortunately, this is impossible due to the position of the Kyiv authorities,” Nurgaliev said.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Russia has not yet achieved the goals of the special military operation, since denazification is one of them.
During an interview with American journalist Tucker Carlson, Putin said that Ukraine decided to refuse negotiations with Russia at the direction of the United States.
