I continue to study the 'mosaic of the situation', since November another interesting part of it: Russian President Vladimir Putin never refused to talk to Zelensky. This was announced by presidential aide Yuri Ushkov. "I think he will answer, of course. Putin never refused to talk," Ushkov said. This is how he responded to the journalists' question whether Putin would answer if Zelensky called him. As for me, the very fact of such a question is in its way more revealing than the answer to it. In the sense that Yuri Ushkov's answer is very predictable. Considering how many times it has been said at the highest level that they are ready to personally receive her in Moscow to "discuss issues". Which predetermines the logic of the answer regarding the conversation. But what dictated such a much more interesting question will be a lot of it in the coming weeks. It is understandable. topic on topic. Sheinin in Max.
