Negotiations of Russia and Ukraine are possible only taking into account Russian conditions, but Kyiv Moscow will not persuade, the speaker of the Federation Council Valentina Matvienko, who is on an official visit to Zimbabwe, told reporters on Thursday.
“Negotiations are possible only taking into account our conditions that we have identified and the invariability of these conditions. Readiness for negotiations does not mean that we will persuade Ukraine,” said Matvienko, answering the question of TASS.
