Russian leader Vladimir Putin currently has no intention of ending the war against Ukraine. Talks are only possible when his position changes, stated Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman Heorhii Tykhyi,
RBC-Ukraine reports.
Tykhyi reminded that the Ukrainian delegation has already visited Istanbul several times this year for negotiations with the Russian side. However, Russia only sent low-level officials who repeatedly voiced the same ultimatums and had no authority to make decisions.
"The reason is simple: Putin does not seek peace, he seeks ways to continue the war. Tell your boss to end the war. When he is ready—we can hold a leaders’ meeting and agree on a ceasefire," the spokesperson said.
