In an interview with the Italian newspaper La Repubblica, Podolyak said that a potential ceasefire deal at the current stage of the conflict would provide Russia with time to strengthen its positions.
“The ceasefire for Russia is a tactical pause for reinforcement,” Podolyak said.
While commenting on the reports that the representatives of the US Pentagon and the Russian Defense Ministry are involved in talks, Podolyak said that “there are no negotiations between Russia and Western countries regarding Ukraine.”
