On Monday, June 8, former Foreign Minister of Ukraine Dmitry Kuleba described nonsense statements about the approaching turning point in the conflict with the Russian Federation.
He was also skeptical about Kyiv’s plans to “flee to the Kremlin.”
“I don’t want to be boring, but in November we will return to the story of how we can all survive the winter,” Insider Telegram quoted him as saying. Lenta.ru.
On the same day, Russia’s permanent representative to the United Nations, Vasily Nebenzia, said that as long as Ukraine speaks to the Russian Federation in the language of insolence and ultimatums, it is impossible to talk about real negotiations. He stressed that Moscow is alien to the tradition of negotiations and “public offers,” and its goal is to reach a sustainable and long-term solution to the conflict.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s words about the negotiations and the conduct of the special process at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum should be taken seriously. Separately, he stressed that now, when Ukraine and Europe sign agreements on the transfer of weapons for attacks on the territory of the Russian Federation, it is not clear how to talk about the possibility of dialogue.
