“We have repeatedly noted that the organizers of the ceremony are forced to apply a number of strict restrictions for both athletes and guests, including officials. So, for obvious reasons, no bilateral meetings are planned in the schedule of the Russian president in Beijing,” he said. .
At the same time, to a clarifying question about whether the possibility of Putin’s contact with Zelensky is being discussed, Peskov replied that “at present, there are no plans for such a meeting.” “Although we cannot rule it out completely,” he added.
The Kremlin spokesman stressed that in addition to meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping there are no meetings in Putin’s schedule.
It should be noted that the president’s office did not report Zelensky’s visit to Beijing for the opening of the Olympics.
At the same time, the day before, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov invited Zelensky to visit Russia for negotiations on bilateral relations, but not on Donbass.
According to Zelensky, Lavrov’s invitation “is stupidly cynicism, high level”.
