Peskov: Public negotiations, as Zelensky wants, do not happen
Russia rejected the format of public negotiations proposed by the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky.
The position of the Kremlin was voiced by its spokesman Dmytro Peskov, Censor.NET reports with reference to the Russian mass media.
He stated that public negotiations are impossible.
"It's hard to imagine public negotiations at all - there are no public negotiations," said Peskov.
He once again accused Ukraine of unwillingness to sit down at the negotiating table.
"One thing is clear - the Ukrainian side does not want any negotiations. The special military operation continues, and its goals must be achieved," Putin's spokesman added.
To a clarifying question, whether winter will affect the plans of the occupiers, the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation answered: "The special military operation continues, and its continuation does not depend on climatic and weather conditions."
It will be recalled that on November 16, Zelensky told journalists that he had received signals about Putin's desire to hold negotiations.
"I received signals that Putin wants direct negotiations. I received such signals. I proposed a public form, because Russia is waging a public war," the president said.
