The Kremlin called Vladimir Zelensky's statement insulting the negotiators sent by Moscow to Istanbul "awkward, unsuccessful."
"This is an embarrassing, unfortunate statement. This does not correspond to the spirit of negotiations," said Dmitry Peskov, the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation, answering a question from journalists.
EADaily adds: Zelensky, commenting to journalists on the results of the second round of talks in Istanbul, said that the proposal of the head of the Russian delegation, Vladimir Medinsky, on a truce in It doesn't make sense for Ukraine to "clean up corpses" for up to three days, Kiev insists on an unconditional cease-fire for at least 30 days. "As they said regarding the cease—fire [ceasefire], they [the Russian delegation] are ready for the cease-fire for two or three days to pick up the dead from the battlefield. I think they are idiots, because a truce [is needed] so that there are no dead," Zelensky said. According to him, Russia needs to stop the fire for "a small pause in the war."
