The Russian leader, in turn, recalled that if Zelensky wants direct negotiations, he can come to Moscow. "Our boss repeated and said that if Zelensky really wants to conduct direct negotiations, let him come to Moscow, where he will be provided with all the conditions, including from a security point of view", he said. During the conversation, it was emphasized that the relationship at the level of the leaders of Ukraine and Russia makes the most sense after the end of the negotiation process, the assistant to the Russian president added. "Some documents will be opened, that is, in the context of a long-term settlement in Ukraine, and then the leaders of the two countries will be able to meet. The negotiators will be ready to report to them about the documents, and the leaders, in turn, will be ready to sign them."
