Moscow says Zelensky’s proposal on potential negotiations unreliable

MOSCOW, July 24 (Xinhua) — Statements made by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on potential negotiations with Russia lack credibility, said Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova on Wednesday.
The comment followed a recent statement made by Zelensky proposing that Russian representatives should be present at a second peace conference on Ukraine scheduled to be held in November.
In her weekly press briefing, Zakharova said that Russia did not trust the Ukrainian president.
Zakharova recalled that Zelensky, his administration, or his “Western curators” have not taken any action to repeal the law that bans negotiations with Russia.
Zakharova also suggested that the Ukrainian president and Kiev’s Western allies might be trying to advance their failed “peace formula” once again. ■
