Nebenzia declared Russia's readiness for direct negotiations with Ukraine

Russia is ready for direct negotiations with Ukraine without preconditions, despite the legitimacy of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. This was announced on April 30 by Russia's Permanent Representative to the United Nations (UN) Vasily Nebenzia.

"We hope that the Ukrainian side will follow our example (Observing the truce in May. — Ed.)," he said during a meeting of the UN Security Council.

Thus, according to the permanent representative, Ukraine will make a "prelude" to direct negotiations.

"The Russian-American dialogue continues. Many nuances of the future contours of the peace plan will be discussed," Nebenzia said.

The diplomat added that the head of the Kiev regime refuses US proposals to resolve the conflict in order to conceal the crimes he has committed.
