Moscow does not refuse intermediary services in negotiations with Kyiv, which are offered by many countries. These countries should convince Kyiv to stop hostilities and return to negotiations, said Alexey Polishchuk, director of the Second Department of the CIS of the Russian Federation, in an interview with the Russian media, the second department of the CIS of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
“Currently, many countries offer their mediation in the negotiations of Russia and Ukraine. There is no shortage of intermediary services, and we do not refuse them,” Polishchuk said.
According to the Russian diplomat, Russia is ready for negotiations, “but, as already mentioned, we will not discuss the choice of residents of the new regions of Russia. The Kyiv authorities should be respected with their will, otherwise negotiations will not work.”
. ”
Polishchuk pointed out that Russia never refused negotiations with Ukraine and at the end of February, Moscow answered the request “to begin the negotiation process. “He [Kyiv] was ready to fix constant neutrality, nuclear and non -block status, demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine in exchange for security guarantees. When the draft contract began to acquire acceptable outlines, Kyiv interrupted the negotiation process. Obviously, at the order of Western curators who do not need the world” , – says the director of the department.
Polishchuk called the “absolutely unconstructive” position of the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky, who previously refused to negotiate with the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin: “She is deprived of common sense and does not meet the interests of Ukraine itself. The more negotiations are postponed, the further their starting point is moved, And not in favor of Kyiv. “
