Open to negotiations, but do not trust: the Kremlin spoke about the participation of the Russian Federation in the Peace Summit
The comment of Roszmi was not made by Vladimir Putin himself, but his spokesman Dmitry Peskov, who stated that Russia was allegedly "open" for negotiations to end the war in Ukraine, but there is no confidence in the Ukrainian authorities. He reported this in an interview with Komsomolskaya Pravda Radio. According to him, Vladimir Putin allegedly "repeatedly declared" that the Russian Federation was opened for negotiations on termination of war in Ukraine.
Speaking about the idea of participation of the Russian Federation in the second summit of peace, Peskov noted that "no summit with the participation of Russia is not prepared yet. " "No summit with the participation of Russia is not preparing yet. This is the first. We hear such sporadic considerations about Russia's involvement, and which were actually initiated by a large number of participants in the first event of this kind," he said.
Putin's spokeswoman also expressed his readiness to "talk" with the Ukrainian authorities, but according to the Kremlin, it cannot be trusted. According to Peskov, "votes are now heard" that the next such event will be invited by the Russian Federation. But he believes that the summit of this kind is not involved "in the interests of some protocol and for the sake of participation", but only to discuss a specific agenda.
At the same time, Peskov, the agenda, which would arrange Russia, was not expressed. "At least, this agenda was not announced in the context of preparing any conferences of this kind," the Kremlin spokesman said. We will remind, in an interview with the French media, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on August 1 that Ukraine's negotiations with the Russian Federation can begin as part of the second summit of peace.
