On Friday, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Russia would immediately cease fire and declare its readiness for negotiations with Ukraine after Kiev withdraws troops from the territory of new regions of Russia.
Volodymyr Zelensky is not the right person with whom to fix agreements on Ukraine in writing, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
«This is not the person with whom you can fix agreements in writing, because de jure the agreement would be illegitimate,» he said.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is not rejecting the possibility of negotiations with Ukraine and notes the legitimate authorities there, Peskov added.
Peskov said that the situation for the Kiev regime on the front is getting worse.
«Probably, a politician who puts the interests of the homeland above his own, and even above his masters, would think about such a proposal,» Peskov said, commenting on the Ukrainian authorities’ reaction to Putin’s proposal.
