The Kremlin spokesman also said that “delegations and ministers must do their part to ensure that the presidents do not meet only for the sake of the process and for a discussion, but to hold a meeting to achieve results.”
“Russia’s position is not a secret, it has been stated and pointed out to the Ukrainian negotiators. “We are waiting to receive their clarifications,” Peshkov added.
