Kremlin sees no negotiations matter in the situation around the Azovstal plant in Mariupol, Russian President Vladimir Putin said it already that civilians can exit the plant freely, while militants must lay down their arms, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Thursday. He made this comment in response to Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky’s remark that Kiev is ready for immediate negotiations on evacuation of people from Azovstal.
"The president made it quite clear: civilians can exit and go anywhere they please. Militants must lay down their arms and exit as well. Their lives will be preserved. All injured and sick will be provided with medical aid," Peskov said. "What’s there to negotiate about in this case?"
