The Kremlin’s foreign policy deputy, Yuri Oshakov, who attended the meeting, described it as a constructive and very useful.

“This conversation allows Russia and the United States to bring their positions closer together, not only in Ukraine but also on a number of other international issues,” he said.

“In the case of the Ukrainian crisis, this debate has focused, in particular the possibility of resuming direct negotiations between representatives of the Russian and Ukrainian Federation.”

Bags and Washington have been working on rare fields for months to finalize details.

Donald Trump again obtained Voldimir Zelnsky Ukraine, this time blamed him for not signing rare land agreements with the United States.

“Ukraine, led by Voldimir Zelnski, has not signed final articles on the very important transaction of rare lands with the United States.

The Ukrainian Constitution stated that all the temporary territories occupied are temporarily occupied. All of them belong to Ukraine, to the people of Ukraine.

“Ukraine does not legally occupy any territory temporarily. I think this is a completely fair situation.”

President Zelksky has stated that Ukraine is willing to “discuss territorial issues” with Russia, but only on the condition of “full and unconditional ceasefire”.

“According to the BBC, a full and unconditional ceasefire opens the possibility of discussing everything,” he said at a press conference.
