What happened

Moscow is open to negotiations on Ukraine provided there is a constructive and mature approach from Western countries, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin told TASS.

Why it matters

"We are always ready for negotiations and open to a negotiated solution, we have repeatedly demonstrated this.

Common ground

It was the other side, the Ukrainian side, that withdrew from the talks, it would pull out, then forbid itself from engaging in them, behaving, to put it very mildly, inconsistently," he said on the sidelines of the third Kazakhstan-Russia Media Forum.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language, Name Calling / Labeling, Black-and-White Fallacy: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.

Claim 4: “It was the other side, the Ukrainian side, that withdrew from the talks”
DISPUTED
The evidence shows conflicting narratives. One source (TRT World) quotes a Russian official claiming Ukraine must withdraw from Donbas for settlement, while another (Wikipedia) discusses Ukrainian negotiators' perspectives on neutrality and Western advice. There is no consensus on who 'withdrew' from the talks, as it is presented as a point of contention between the two sides.
