Currently, the situation in Ukraine continues to be extremely difficult - at the same time, the chances for negotiations and productive diplomacy remain. Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine - Minister for Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories Iryna Vereshchuk said in an interview with the French TV channel LCI.

The Ukrainian President is ready to hold talks with his russian counterpart, Iryna Vereshchuk emphasizes.

From the first day, our state has shown readiness to dialogue with the enemy. And this can be evidenced by the states that are trying to support the negotiation process between Kyiv and Moscow.

The Deputy Prime Minister reminded that the "demands" of the occupiers to Ukraine are simply meaningless. Yes, there is no Nazism in Ukraine, which the aggressor allegedly intended to "fight". We respect the use of the russian language in our country, we have freedom of speech.

Iryna Vereshchuk noted that now the success of the negotiation process requires only counter-movement from the enemy
