\u201cOur boss reaffirmed that if Zelenskyy genuinely wants direct\nnegotiations, he should come to Moscow. All the necessary\nconditions\u2014including those concerning his safety\u2014will be provided for\nhim,\u201d the state news agency Tass quoted Ushakov as saying.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are many questions on this matter, as well as requests for\nclarification from our side,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Ushakov said the question of European representatives taking part in\nnegotiations on Ukraine had not yet been considered. It would be\ndiscussed at a later stage of the talks.<\/p>\n
