But the Ukrainian authorities are ready to discuss with Russia the problems that exist between the states.
The head of the president's office, Andrei Ermak, noted that in negotiations with Russia, it is impossible for Ukraine to compromise on independence, territorial integrity and sovereignty.
“But at the same time, we are ready to discuss the existing problems between our states at different levels. So far we have no official diplomatic relations. I mean the problems of Crimea and Donbass, ”Ermak told Ambassador John Herbst during a discussion on the Atltantic Coucil platform.
Earlier , Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that Ukraine and Russia are close to reaching a consensus on four of the six terms of the peace talks . According to him, one of the points is directly related to the NATO issue. However, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmitry Kuleba objected that the countries have reached an agreement on the issues mentioned by Erdogan.
“At the same time, it is important to assess the situation objectively. There is no consensus with Russia on the four points mentioned by the President of Turkey. In particular, the only state language in Ukraine is and will be Ukrainian. And in general, the classification of key topics of negotiations into four or other points is incorrect. Many different issues are being discussed at the same time in the subgroups of delegations, ”he said.
