Moscow has never shut the door on peace negotiations over Ukraine, President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday after being briefed on the results of the meeting between Russian and US representatives in Riyadh. It was the EU and Kiev that broke all contact with Russia, he added. | |
“Russia has never walked away from the negotiation process with Ukraine, never,” the president told reporters in St. Petersburg. | |
He stressed that it was Kiev that banned officials from engaging in any talks with Moscow. It “withdrew from the Istanbul negotiations and publicly announced it,” he said. | |
No one excludes Kiev from the negotiation process, the Russian president stressed. Both Moscow and Washington expect Ukraine to take part in the peace talks, Putin added. | |
