Rudenko also said that the exchange of prisoners between Ukraine and Russia was possible after the Ukrainian military was convicted.
The conditions of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky regarding negotiations with the Russian Foreign Ministry were called “unconstructive”. This was reported by RIA Novosti.
“Zelensky’s statement about his readiness to return to negotiations cannot be called constructive only if Russian troops return to their positions on February 24,” Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Rudenko said.
Recall that Volodymyr Zelensky during the Ukrainian Breakfast in Davos on May 25 said that Ukraine will fight until it regains the territories and noted that this stage of the war could be a format of negotiation between the presidents, when Ukraine realizes that the Russian Federation itself will show a desire to withdraw from the war.
Rudenko also said that the exchange of prisoners between Ukraine and Russia was possible after the Ukrainian military was convicted. In particular, this also applies to the defenders of Azovstal, wrote TASS.
“We will consider all things after those who surrendered are appropriately convicted, a sentence is passed, then there might be some other steps. Before that, all talks about the exchange were premature,” the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister emphasized.
Earlier, Rudenko said Russia was ready to return to peace talks with Ukraine when the Kyiv official “demonstrates a constructive approach.”
