The Ambassador-at-large of the Russian Foreign Ministry on the crimes of the Kiev regime, Rodion Miroshnik, in his telegram channel revealed the reason for Vladimir Zelensky's disagreement with the negotiations proposed by Moscow, which Vladimir Putin planned in Istanbul on May 15.
Zelensky, on the other hand, gave Putin an ultimatum — first it is necessary to announce a 30-day truce, and only then sit down at the negotiating table.
"Zelensky suggests: 'You introduce a ceasefire so that Kiev can begin to rearm and regroup, and we say we are ready for negotiations,'" the diplomat suggested.
EADaily also previously reported that Friedrich Merz criticized Russia's proposal for negotiations.
