The Foreign Minister recalled the president’s words regarding the negotiations.

“We remain open to a political and diplomatic settlement based on taking into account our legitimate interests, based on taking into account the realities that have developed over many years and led to the current situation,” the minister said.

The Kremlin also previously admitted that Ukraine will have to recognize a new reality regarding the resumption of negotiations with Russia.

As President Vladimir Putin emphasized, Ukraine decided to refuse negotiations with Russia at the direction of the United States.
