Putin: Russia is ready to raise the level of its delegation in negotiations with Ukraine

Russia is ready to raise the level of its delegation in negotiations with Ukraine.

This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"If the need arises to do something in the direction of raising the level (of negotiations - IF), bringing it to a political level, we are ready for this. I would not like to specify or name specific names right now. But we are ready to elevate it to a truly high political level," Putin told journalists following his visit to China.

He emphasized that "an important result" is crucial.

Putin added that he is satisfied with the work of Vladimir Medinskiy as the head of the Russian delegation in negotiations with Ukraine.

"What our negotiating team is doing now under the leadership of my assistant Vladimir Medinskiy, I think, is a good example of restraint and a professional approach," he concluded.
