Kyiv • UNN
The President of Ukraine stated that Russia deliberately did not hand over the document because it understood that its demands would not be taken seriously. Zelensky called the actions of the Russians "thimbles".
the russian document, presented as a "memorandum", is actually an ultimatum. moscow deliberately did not hand over the document, avoiding publicity, because it understood that its demands had nothing to do with diplomacy and would not be taken seriously. this was stated by the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi during a briefing, reports unn.
details
this is not a memorandum of understanding. at least a memorandum of understanding should involve two parties, not just one party that demands something. therefore, it cannot be called a memorandum. it is still an ultimatum from the russian side to us
the president stressed that the russians understood that no one would take their ultimatum seriously.
in my personal opinion, they did not give it to us because they understood that it would become public, and ukraine would have every right not to come to this meeting. not because we don't want to, but because it is clear that there will be no content to the meeting. that's why they did everything like that. thimbleriggers - that's who they are. this is definitely not about a higher level of diplomacy or about people who want de-escalation and an end to the war
