Russian President Vladimir Putin’s press secretary Dmitry Peskov commented on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s statement that Russia had been offered to hold a high-level meeting with Ukraine in Kazakhstan.
Speaking on RBC radio, Peskov noted that the Ukrainians were “spreading a large number of proposals,” and before mentioning Kazakhstan, they mentioned countries that were “absolutely unacceptable” for Russia as a meeting venue. Peskov cited Switzerland and Austria as examples, which are “actually no longer neutral.”
The press secretary recalled that Russian President Vladimir Putin had proposed the idea of holding such talks in Moscow.
