Ex-Defense Minister Reznikov spoke about how the Russians behave in negotiations when the press is not present.

In March 2022, Oleksii Reznikov unveiled the reality of negotiations with the Russian delegation led by Vladimir Medinsky. According to him, the Russian interlocutors behaved very politely and diplomatically, even addressing the members of the Ukrainian delegation personally — by name and patronymic.

During the negotiations between Ukraine and Russia in March 2022, it became evident that the representatives of Russia exhibited politeness and diplomacy. However, at the same Time, they upheld a significantly more aggressive stance during public statements, which may signal the inconsistency of their behavior during negotiations.

Analyzing the actions of the Russian side, particularly the false accusations against Ukraine and President Zelensky, experts emphasize that this is part of a disinformation campaign aimed at undermining the sovereignty of the country. Additionally, Vladimir Putin seeks to justify Russia's aggressive actions by presenting them as defense of peoples who, in reality, support Ukraine's independence.

Analysis shows that the false accusations and disinformation actions of the Russian government are attempts to undermine Ukraine's sovereignty. President Putin's efforts to justify Russia's aggression through public deception have also come under the focus of experts.

Ukraine and Russia are engaged in negotiations during which deceptive approaches and disinformation campaigns aimed at achieving political goals are revealed.
