“Talks between Moscow and Kiev” are not easy “but continue”
Russia’s talks with Ukraine are not easy, but the important thing is that they continue, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peshkov was quoted as saying, according to Reuters, which broadcasts information from the Russian RIA news agency.
Peshkov said Russia would like to continue talks in neighboring Belarus, but Kyiv was opposed to this idea. The two sides held several rounds of talks in Belarus last month, until their delegations met in Istanbul last week.
According to RIA, Peshkov gave an interview to Belarus television.
The spokesman reportedly said that one of the goals of the Moscow military operation in Ukraine was to “save” the self-proclaimed “democracies” of Donetsk and Luhansk and restore them to the borders in 2014. The Kremlin also expects Ukraine to ban “Nationalist ideas” and that the Russian language will regain its place in the country.
