I read the news, distributed by all world agencies, that allegedly R. Umerov called me about the Memorandum, which we, allegedly, have not prepared yet. Like, the Russians are in no hurry.

I will comment. Everything was almost like that. Only the other way around.

I called Umerov today and proposed an exact date and place of the meeting for the exchange of memoranda. There, right there, we are ready to begin a meaningful, substantive discussion of each of the points of the package agreement on the future ceasefire.

The Ukrainian side went to confer. Apparently, the meeting dragged on. We are waiting for confirmation from them as soon as possible and are ready to meet in person on the date we have designated - in the coming days - and start working. In the interests of long-term peace and saving human lives.
