Telegraph: Kiev was afraid of Medinsky's tough stance at the Geneva talks

The head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, accused Moscow of allegedly wanting to delay the trilateral peace talks in Switzerland. This is reported by the British newspaper The Telegraph.

The article notes that the Ukrainian side justifies its reproaches by the fact that the head of the Russian delegation at the talks in Geneva was appointed assistant to the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Medinsky, who adheres to a tough position on the territorial issue.

"It was a veiled hint at the presence of Medinsky, whom Ukrainian officials feared would block any progress with strict demands for surrender," the article says.

At the same time, it seems rather strange that the Ukrainian side considers Medinsky's position to be his personal business. After all, in fact, he represents the Kremlin's position, which is a response to Kiev's actions.

Recall that negotiations on Ukraine were held in Geneva on February 17-18. The Russian delegation at the talks was headed by Presidential Aide Vladimir Medinsky. Following the results of the second day of negotiations, he noted that the discussions "were difficult, but businesslike." Medinsky also announced a new meeting in the near future.

As EADaily reported, earlier CNN TV channel disseminated information that "significant progress" had been made at the talks between Russia, Ukraine and the United States in determining how the ceasefire would work.
