Senator Chizhov called negotiations on Ukraine without Russia’s participation a fiction
First Deputy Chairman of the Defense Committee of the Federation Council Vladimir Chizhov commented on the possibility of holding negotiations on the conflict in Ukraine without the participation of Russia. He spoke about this in a conversation with RIA News.
The senator recalled that in June Switzerland plans to hold a peace conference on Ukraine, which he called “some kind of gathering.” He suggested that more than half of the possible participants do not want to go to the event, “and if they go, it will be without enthusiasm.”
“What conferences on Ukraine can there be without Russia? Even if we are invited, we will not go. What to talk about? This is all fiction,” Chizhov noted.
The international peace conference on Ukraine will be held in Switzerland on June 15-16. The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova said that Moscow will not take part in the summit dedicated to the consideration of the “peace formula”.
