Dialogue between Russia and Ukraine
Russia’s President Vladimir Putin says it is most important to have an immediate dialogue between Ukraine’s current authorities and the regions.
“There should be not a showing-off dialogue among themselves, but a true search for compromises,” Putin said during a Q&A session adding Kiev’s authorities had been visiting the country’s regions, where, however, they had meetings not with the people, but with their own allies.
“Beginning of the negotiations in Geneva (on Ukraine) is most important,” Putin said. “It is very important to discuss jointly how to overcome the situation.
East of Ukraine
All allegations concerning Russia’s military involvement in the recent developments in the east of Ukraine are “rubbish,” Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday.
“It is all rubbish. There are no Russian military detachments in the east of Ukraine,” Putin said. “There are only local people and the best proof (that the Russian military is not involved) is that people are taking off their masks.
Russia’s President Vladimir Putin is sure in the framework of inter-state relations it would be possible to reach mutual understanding with Ukraine.
“We shall not separate from each other,” he said during a Q&A session.
