Peskov: Putin and Zelensky still have nothing to fix on the situation in Ukraine

Progress in the negotiations between the Russian and Ukrainian delegations is not enough to organize a meeting of the presidents of these countries today. This, according to TASS, was stated by the press secretary of the head of the Russian state Dmitry Peskov.

“In order to talk about a meeting of the two presidents, you must first do your homework, that is, you need to conduct and agree on the results of negotiations. So far, there has been no significant progress,” he said.

“They will have nothing to fix, there are no agreements that they can fix,” Peskov said.

On February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the start of a special military operation in Ukraine. The head of the Russian Defense Ministry, General of the Army Sergei Shoigu, said that the main task of this operation is to protect Russia from a military threat from Western countries that “are trying to use the Ukrainian people in the fight against our country.” In response to this decision, sanctions began to be imposed on Russia. The Russian and Ukrainian delegations held a series of talks on the situation. We add that Lavrov said that Russia presented Ukraine with specific proposals for a settlement, which Kyiv took into consideration. At the same time, he said, the head of the Russian state, Vladimir Putin, is not opposed to meeting for negotiations with the Ukrainian leader, but for this there must be preliminary preparation. Lavrov also expressed the hope that the special operation of the Russian Federation in Ukraine will end with the signing of comprehensive documents. They will touch upon the issues of the neutral status of Ukraine, security and the law on the Russian language.
