Schroeder, a friend of President Vladimir Putin, met the Kremlin leader in Moscow last week, and said Russia wanted a “negotiated solution” to the war and that there was even the possibility of it being achieved gradually through a ceasefire.
Ukraine announced today that any peace settlement with Moscow would be dependent on a ceasefire and the withdrawal of Russian troops, responding to comments by former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder.
Schroeder, a friend of President Vladimir Putin, met the Kremlin leader in Moscow last week, and said Russia wanted a “negotiated solution” to the war and that there was even the possibility of it being achieved gradually through a ceasefire.
In response today, Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podoliak contemptuously called Schroeder “the voice of the Russian royal court.”
“If Moscow wants dialogue, the ball is in its court. First – ceasefire and withdrawal of troops, then – constructive (dialogue),” Podoliak wrote on Twitter.
