While describing the US government as a liar, the spokesperson of the Russian Foreign Ministry said that Washington itself ordered Kiev to stop the peace talks, but still held Moscow responsible for the lack of negotiations.

Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): "Maria Zakharova", the spokesperson of the Russian Foreign Ministry, reacted to the American claim about the lack of peace talks with Ukraine on Monday evening.
 
In a telegram statement, Zakharova said that Washington's alleged reason for not holding talks between Russia and Ukraine is a lie.
 
On Monday evening, Matthew Miller, the spokesperson of the US State Department, claimed that the peace talks with Ukraine were interrupted due to Russia's opposition.
 
The spokesperson of the Russian Foreign Ministry explained: "These are the liars!" They know very well that they themselves told Zelensky to slow down the negotiations in April 2022, they themselves approved the ban on peace talks with Russia by the Kiev regime in September 2022, they themselves publicly announced for a year that now is not the time for negotiations. But they still blame Russia."
 
After Russia was not invited to the international meeting on the topic of the Ukraine war and the solutions for a peaceful end in Saudi Arabia, now the presence of the causes of the current crisis in this meeting has been criticized.
 
On Monday evening, an informed source told the "Ryanovsky" channel that the vast majority of the participants in the Jeddah meeting are the countries that caused the crisis in Ukraine and Russia.
 
In this two-day meeting, security advisors from about 30 countries, including Ukraine, gathered in Jeddah. The office of the President of Ukraine arrogantly said that he expected the assembly to approve the Kyiv peace formula.
