Earlier in the day, Volodymyr Zelensky’s office rejected Putin’s peace proposal.
"It [the proposal] has already been translated into Ukrainian? The Bankovaya [a street in Kiev that houses the presidential office] has already brought Ukraine and Ukrainians to the point of extreme. With such statements, they want to deprive the citizens of Ukraine of a real chance for peace," Zakharova said.
Putin had previously listed the conditions for peace talks – full Ukrainian withdrawal from new Russian territories, as well as neutral, non-aligned and non-nuclear status of Ukraine outside NATO.
