Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov said Moscow does not intend to set conditions regarding the composition of Europe's negotiating team as part of efforts to resolve the conflict in Ukraine.

Axar.az reports, citing Russian media, that Peskov made the remarks in an interview with Alexander Yunashev, host of the Yunashev Live channel.

“We cannot and do not want to set conditions regarding their negotiating team. Such an approach to the issue is absolutely wrong,” he said.

He also noted that Russia “would be better off engaging with Europeans and understanding to what extent their position could potentially contribute to the peace process.”

It should be noted that EU leaders agreed on the composition of a delegation that will take part in expert-level talks with Russia the previous day.
