Zelensky says hasn't seen new Russian proposals on settlement of situation

KYIV. April 21 (Interfax-Ukraine) - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that he has not seen Russia's new proposals that were shared with the Ukrainian delegation as part of the talks.

"I have not heard anything about it, have not seen anything. I am sure they did not give us anything," Zelensky said at a press briefing following a meeting with European Council President Charles Michel on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, head of Ukrainian presidential office Mykhailo Podolyak said earlier on Wednesday that Ukraine received Russia's proposals as part of the negotiating process and is studying them.

"Ukraine handed over its proposals on the provisions to the opponents back at the Istanbul round [of talks]. In particular, this concerns security guarantees to prevent attacks on our country from happening in the future. The Russian side has studied the proposals and has presented its stance. Now it's our turn to study, compare and draw conclusions, both political and legal," Podolyak said.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Wednesday that a draft document with clear wording had been presented to Ukraine.
