Moscow, July 22 /Xinhua/ — The draft memorandums on peace settlement handed over to each other by Russia and Ukraine should become the main topic of the third round of direct Russian-Ukrainian talks. Moscow does not expect any "miraculous" breakthroughs, any forecasts for achieving peace in Ukraine are currently impossible. This was stated at a briefing on Tuesday by the press secretary of the Russian president Dmitry Peskov.
“The topic of the negotiations is quite complex: in addition to other issues, of course, it will be necessary to discuss those very draft memoranda that were exchanged during the second round,” D. Peskov pointed out.
According to him, “of course, there is no reason to count on any breakthroughs from the category of miracles. It is unlikely that this is possible in the current situation.” The Kremlin representative emphasized that the Russian side intends to defend its interests and ensure their achievement.
D. Peskov did not estimate the time frame for a possible agreement on a Ukrainian settlement, emphasizing that this depends on many factors.
"I would not estimate potential timeframes at all. It depends on many factors, and now any forecasts will be wrong," the press secretary of the Russian president said.
Moscow proceeds from the fact that Kyiv has still not lifted the ban on negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin. "To be fair /it should be noted that/ this ban is still in effect. This is an obvious fact," added D. Peskov.
According to him, Moscow and Kyiv need to work a lot before discussing the prospects of a summit meeting. –0–
