Zakharova told reporters that Russia is open to the negotiation process, to contacts that will have a real effect, a real result. Russia is taking part in discussions on peace proposals put forward by the United States, but still questions the Ukrainian government’s willingness to negotiate in good faith, she added.
On Wednesday, Ambassador-at-Large of the Russian Foreign Ministry Rodion Miroshnik, affirmed that Russia is ready for dialogue. However, he stressed that opening negotiations does not exempt Ukraine from responsibility for actions considered violations, both militarily and legally.
