RT said that the ASEAN summit was held in Cambodia on the 12th, and Kuleba made the above remarks during the related activities of the summit. He said at the time, “He (Lavrov, who also attended the ASEAN summit) did not make a request, which should be diplomatic practice. If he did, we will seriously consider his request, and at the same time We will consider all aspects of the current situation and reality.” RT said Kuleba said so much, but he didn’t say whether Kiev would really accept him if Moscow really sent a request.
As for whether to hold negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, various external opinions have been relatively intense recently. Also on the 12th, at the ASEAN-United Nations summit in Cambodia, the UN secretary general Guterres, answering questions on the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, affirmed that the international community should create favorable conditions for peace and that dialogue between Russia and Ukraine should be re-established and start gradually. Looking to a peaceful future, this is very important.
As regards the Russia-Ukraine peace talks, on the 7th Russian President Peskov’s press secretary stated that Russia has always maintained an open position on holding peace talks with Ukraine.On the 12th, Tsekov, a member of the International Affairs Commission of the Russian Federation Council, said that the Russia-Ukraine peace talks will certainly take place, but when they will be held will depend on Uzbekistan’s western partners such as the United States and the European Union. Tsekov said that Russia-Ukraine peace talks will be extremely difficult, and the prerequisite for starting negotiations is that the United States and Europe stop provoking further conflicts. He believes that, due to the current position adopted by Ukraine, the possibility that the negotiations between the two sides will achieve results is not great.
