CORROBORATED
Multiple search results confirm that Russian officials have repeatedly made public statements expressing their openness to negotiations and readiness to consider proposals, regardless of whether those claims are viewed as sincere by the opposing side.

Claim 2: “It was Kiev that interrupted the negotiating process on the settlement of the conflict with Moscow”
DISPUTED
The claim that Kiev interrupted the process is presented as a Russian official's statement in some search results, but other independent sources (AP News, RAND Corporation) attribute the halt to mutual disagreements over territorial demands, Russia's proposed veto on Ukrainian defense, and the Bucha massacre, indicating a conflict of narratives rather than a single factual cause.

Claim 3: “Russia never refused to consider constructive proposals, including in the format of contacts”
SINGLE SOURCE
The evidence provided consists of statements from Russian officials (e.g., Galuzin) asserting that Russia has not refused constructive proposals. There is no independent third-party verification or corroboration from other news organizations to confirm this as a factual reality rather than a diplomatic claim.

Claim 4: “It was the Ukrainian side that interrupted them and even cancelled them on their behalf”
DISPUTED
Similar to claim 0, this is a specific accusation from the Russian side. Independent evidence suggests negotiations stalled due to a combination of factors including the Bucha massacre and conflicting territorial demands, contradicting the narrative that Ukraine unilaterally cancelled them without cause.
