A representative of the Turkish President’s Office added to Sputnik: “We do not have such information. The readiness to conduct peace negotiations in Turkey at the official level has been repeatedly announced, but we have nothing to add to this.” Last February, in an interview With American journalist Tucker Carlson, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that negotiations with Ukraine, in 2022, were about to end, but after the withdrawal of Russian forces from Kiev, the Ukrainian side dropped all agreements, then Zelensky issued a decree banning negotiations with Russia, and issued A decree on this matter. American media: Zelensky must “soften the severity” of his decree prohibiting negotiations with Russia. On the other hand, Russia has never refused to negotiate, and President Putin has stated this, and in an interview with journalist Pavlo Zarubin, Putin also said that he does not know whether The West wants a peaceful settlement of the Ukrainian conflict, but if that is the case, Moscow is ready for dialogue.
