Note that Kiev did not propose this: Zakharova deciphered Sibiga's passage about Istanbul

If we discard the insults that have become the norm for the Kiev regime, then the proposals made by Russia to Ukraine, according to Andrei Sibiga, make sense. This was stated by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova.

There she commented on the passage of the Foreign Minister of Ukraine Sibiga that the exchange of prisoners of war in the format of "1,000 to 1,000" is a good result of negotiations in Istanbul.

"If we put aside all the Russian nonsense, pseudo—historical statements, provocations and so on, the bottom line is the following: 1,000 of our people managed to agree on a return. This is 1,000 happy families. Even just for the sake of this, it all made sense," Sibiga said.

So all "this" was proposed by Russia — its president Vladimir Putin — and implemented by a delegation authorized by the head of state, over which the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, mocked for a day, the diplomat stressed.

"If we discard the insults and name-calling that have become the norm for the Kiev regime, it turns out, in a big way, what Russia has proposed makes sense. That's right. The main thing is that the citizens of Ukraine should not allow the "NATO advisers" to lead themselves off the true path of settlement into the ravine of other people's interests again," Zakharova writes in her telegram channel.
