OP Chairman said that Ukraine is ready to negotiate with someone else except Putin

To spread: Ukraine and its partners have a common approach: they want to be ceased to be a ceasefire and then negotiations, because otherwise Russia will try to use a dialogue to "drive everyone". In particular, it does not matter who to negotiate with the Russian side - everything is tied in Putin. The head of the Presidential Office Andriy Ermak told this in an interview with RBC-Ukraine.

According to him, Russia will try to get out of sanctions, using the negotiation process as a cover, and this format is conditioned by "the obvious desire to drive everyone by the nose. " "Do Washington want to take America to the nose? Do Europeans want this? Certainly not. So we have an approach with our partners: first CEASEFIRE - then negotiations.

When asked if Ukraine will speak to someone from the Russian side, except Putin, Yermak replied: "And you know who in Russia makes a decision of this level and is able to ensure their implementation? Of course, he will delegate technical and preparatory stages - but we understand whom everything is tied," He recalled that Ukraine is overly seeking a fair and strong peace, and is ready for any negotiation formats.

"If Russia is really ready for negotiations, it is necessary to accept the US and European partners' proposals for a comprehensive 30-day ceasefire. This position is clearly marked, and we have repeatedly voiced it in communication with partners. If the Kremlin is really interested in peace-he knows what to do. We will remind, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky declared his willingness to meet Putin in Istanbul, if the Russian Federation agrees to the ceasefire from May 12.
