Ukraine does not see the point in negotiating with the Russian Federation the humanitarian bloc, in particular - the issue of language.

The Advisor to the Head of the Office of the President, Mykhailo Podoliak, a member of the negotiating group with the Russian Federation, said this during the telethon.

"We do not see the point in it (to return to the issue of language - LB.ua). We can front other discussions in terms of reflectivity. You want a Russian school in Ukraine - so you must open the same in Russia... There can be no forced discussion of key principles of the state," - said Podoliak.

The Adviser to the Head of the OPU noted that at the negotiations, the Ukrainian side proposed to the Russian Federation to lay out the facts of violations, which are described by the Russian propaganda.

"We say - provide us with the facts, but not your propaganda, in which you have been living for 8 years, but only facts. Then we will talk about each fact. If you came with the concept of the Russian language and destroyed cities such as Kharkiv, Mariupol, Sumy, almost the whole east and south, where there were more Russian-speaking people, how do you want to give them (citizens of the bombed territories - Ed.) Russian language? They do not want to speak Russian in principle," - stressed Podolyak.

He added that the Russian side "within the negotiation process begin to understand - what is the logic?"

"It (the Russian Federation - Ed.) plunged itself in some propaganda myths, among which there was a nazification, that everyone wants to speak Russian, infringing upon Russian-speaking citizens. All these problems, about which the Russians created myths themselves, we do not have,"- added the Adviser to the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine.

Earlier, on March 29, negotiations between the Ukrainian and Russian delegations began in Turkey. Advisor to the Head of the OP Mykhailo Podoliak told about a number of contractual positions that the Russian Federation took into consideration according to the results of the meeting of delegations.
