Russia has been trying to negotiate with Ukraine and is very grateful for Israel’s help in acting as a mediator, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Medvedev said in an interview with Al Jazeera.
Medvedev cited both Israel and Turkey for playing key roles in trying to mediate between the two countries. However, he lamented that this was a failure, putting the blame entirely on Ukraine.
“Mediation is valuable not because there is simply an intermediary [but] because there is a platform for negotiations, and parties demonstrate a desire to negotiate,” he told Al Jazeera, according to TASS, but added that Ukraine prefers to continue fighting.
