Vladimir Putin will hold peace talks with President Volodymyr Zelensky, the Kremlin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the “legal aspects related to his legitimacy” must be considered.
Russia keeps saying that Zelensky is not a legitimate President despite democratic elections took place in Ukraine and he was fairly and legally voted in.
Russia has made a false claim that President Zelensky’s term was due to end on 20 May, 2024.
“Putin himself has repeatedly said he would be ready to negotiate with Zelensky if necessary. At the same time, the legal fixation of the agreements is subject to serious discussion, considering the reality,” Peskov said.
Peskov was asked over any potential meeting between the US President Donald Trump and Putin, he said he does not know when this will happen.
“No, there is no such understanding, but perhaps there will be some attempts based on the results of today’s talks (in Riyadh). But we will find out about it later, after the end of this dialog,” he said.
