According to him, Moscow allegedly never refused negotiations with Kyiv at all levels. At the same time, he said that “serious preparations” are needed for the meeting of the presidents, namely, the missing “documents of a high degree of readiness.”
“Heads of state should meet in order to reach final agreements and sign documents, and not to take pictures,” Putin’s aide said.

There are several reasons for this, in particular, the Russians do not demonstrate the key – understanding of today’s processes in the world and their extremely negative role.
