peskov complains that ukraine "absolutely rigidly denies" the possibility of talking to russia. 

The dictator's spokesperson claims that Ukraine seems to be relying on statements by European countries about russia's strategic defeat, which is "the deepest mistake.

As far as I understand it, the pontiff's statements had a broader context. But in general, the idea he was talking about is, of course, quite understandable. He spoke about the benefits of negotiations. You know that our president has repeatedly spoken about our readiness and openness to solve our problems through negotiations, and this is the best way, but you know that, unfortunately, both the Pope's statements and repeated statements by other parties, including ours, have recently been met with absolutely fierce objections from Kyiv. allow for the possibility of any negotiations

Addendum

russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman maria zakharova also responded to the Pope's statement. According to her, Moscow "has never blocked negotiations" and accused the West of "using" Ukraine to weaken russia. She added that the situation in Ukraine "has reached a deadlock.

In my opinion, the Pope is asking the West to put aside its ambitions and admit that it is wrong

Recall

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has criticized the Pope's proposal for Ukraine's negotiations with russia, saying that the Church should be with people who are defending their lives, not engaged in "virtual mediation" from afar.
