British Foreign Secretary: NATO does not see Russia's desire for talks on Ukraine

Ukraine (bbabo.net), - British Foreign Secretary James Cleverley, who attended a meeting of NATO foreign ministers in Bucharest this week, said that the alliance does not see Russian President Vladimir Putin's serious readiness to conduct meaningful negotiations to resolve the conflict in Ukraine.

“At the moment, the atmosphere that I caught [at the] NATO meeting is that Vladimir Putin is not really acting in good faith,” Cleverly said.

“The message that I got, which is very similar to what I was saying, is that if this (settlement) is not done right, then it is basically not done,” the minister said in an interview published on Friday evening. on The Daily Telegraph website.

At the same time, he added that it was “very hard” for him to talk about the possibility of peace talks next year.

“The solution to this [conflict] must be sustainable, meaningful, real. What we should be wary of is that Russia is using the pause as a way [to prepare] for the next phase of aggression, which will be more effective than the current one,” said the head of the Foreign Office.
