Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov stated that Russia will not publicly disclose the negotiation progress before the Russia-USA talks on solving the Ukraine issue are officially concluded. In an interview with American journalist Margaret Brennan, Lavrov responded to questions about the details of the agreement by saying, "We are indeed very polite people. Unlike some, we never publicly discuss the contents of negotiations, otherwise the negotiations are not serious." Lavrov also suggested discussing this issue with Zelensky, as Zelensky is quite the opposite, "very willing to communicate with anyone through the media, even President Trump."
