Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov denied reports that President Vladimir Putin had given Guinea-Bissau President Zelensky any “special message” for negotiations.
“There are no private messages on this issue, and there were no talks about this,” Peskov said in response to a journalist’s question about the veracity of reports that President Putin asked Zelensky to convey a message about readiness for negotiations through the President of Guinea-Bissau.
Peskov stressed that President Putin did not ask Guinea-Bissau President Amara Sissoko Embalo to convey “private messages” to Zelensky about readiness for negotiations, saying: “Our colleague from an African country expressed a desire to convey this position of Putin to the Ukrainian side. There was no definite message (by us).
Guinea-Bissau President Omar Sissoko Embalo said during his visit to Ukraine on Wednesday that Africa “brings peace and wants two brotherly countries, Ukraine and Russia, to unite.”
Embalo continued, addressing Zelensky: “My brother, I also told Putin, my brother, that you will meet one day and that is why we have come to carry the message of peace between our two brothers and we can build bridges of meeting. .”
