In Kyiv, they responded to Moscow statements about negotiations

“The only realistic proposal” regarding possible negotiations with Moscow should be “the immediate termination of the war against Ukraine and the withdrawal of Russian troops outside the borders as of 1991,” said Oleg Nikolenko, speaker of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine on his Facebook page.

Earlier on Sunday, the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the Russian side is still ready for negotiations to resolve the situation in Ukraine.

“Anyone who really strives for negotiations does not destroy the country’s energy system so that its population is frozen in winter, does not engage in mass executions of civilian people, does not shell residential quarters, does not declare mobilization of an additional 300,000 military personnel, does not block the supply of grains, and not The Ultimatumov puts forward, “said Nikolenko, quoted by the Ukrainian media.

According to Nikolenko, Lavrov’s statement is “nothing more than another smoke curtain to win the time against the backdrop of the defeat of the Russian army.” “While Russia continues to commit crimes in Ukraine, there should be one answer – on the battlefield,” he stressed.
