Moscow's position on the issue of the meeting between the presidents of Russia and Ukraine, Vladimir Putin and Vladimir Zelensky, has not changed, this possibility is not rejected. This was stated to journalists by the press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov.
“Nothing has changed for us. We do not reject the possibility of a meeting for our president. But we repeat once again that such a meeting is possible only after the text of the document has been agreed upon, — explained Peskov.
Zelensky earlier on April 5 said that his meeting with the Russian president “may not happen.” “But it may turn out that there will be no meeting,” — he said.
According to Zelensky, it will be difficult for Kiev to continue negotiations with Russia after the situation in Bucha, but it is necessary to find an opportunity to meet. “It will be easy to say, ‘Let’s not talk about anything. This is the easiest position,»,— Zelensky explained. The Russian Ministry of Defense called the photos and videos from Bucha a provocation and said that during the presence of the Russian military in the city, “not a single local resident was injured,” residents moved freely around the city and used cellular communications. The Russian Foreign Ministry considered the purpose of publishing materials from Bucha to disrupt peace talks.
Zelensky the day before, during a visit to this city, said that Kyiv would continue to discuss a peace treaty with Moscow, since Ukraine should find peace. He also signed a decree fixing the composition of the delegation for negotiations with Russia. For the most part, it coincides with the composition announced by Kiev in February and already taking part in the discussions.
The Ukrainian president has previously repeatedly requested a meeting with Putin, both before and after the start of the Russian special operation. The Kremlin does not reject the possibility of a meeting, but believes that it is necessary to fix specific agreements on which negotiating delegations are working on.
