The official reiterated Russia’s readiness to resolve points by diplomatic channels, emphasizing that Kyiv should first handle present authorized limitations to start talks.
“If there is a desire and openness on the Ukrainian side, certain steps should likely be taken to legally remove the obstacles to such contacts, if the willingness exists. President Putin has repeatedly expressed readiness to resolve issues through negotiation, and this is yet another confirmation of that stance,” he added.
