Moscow, September 24 (Xinhua) — Russian President Vladimir Putin is prepared to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, but without preparation, it would be a PR stunt doomed to failure. This was stated by presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov in an interview with RBC radio on Wednesday.
"Putin said he was ready for the meeting. Putin, however, clarified that it would make sense to meet after the parties had done their homework, after preparations had been made at the expert level. Meeting without preparation is more of a PR stunt, doomed to failure," he said.
At the same time, a Kremlin spokesman pointed out that Ukraine had not responded to the Russian leader's proposal for a meeting and had shown no desire to establish working groups as part of settlement negotiations. "The Kyiv side has not responded at all. It's all hanging in the air. No working groups have been established, and, what's more, no response has been received. Kyiv has shown no desire to do so," he emphasized.
