Russia Ready to Continue Talks with Ukraine: Russian Presidential Aide
Russia is ready to continue talks with Ukraine, which have been frozen at Kiev’s initiative, Russian presidential aide Vladimir Medinsky said on Sunday, TASS reports.
"We, on our part, are ready to continue dialogue. But I would like to stress that the ball of further peace talks is in Ukraine’s court. The freezing of the talks was a totally Ukrainian initiative," he said in an interview with Belarus’ ONT television channel.
"Russia has never refused from talks, including at the top level. [Russian President} Vladimir Putin has repeatedly reiterated that. The matter is that serious preparations are needed for a top-level meeting, a meeting between the presidents," Medinsky said, adding that documents should be drafted for such a meeting.
"The heads of state should meet to reach final agreements and sign documents, but not to take photos," he explained.
