The Kiev weekly Delovaya Stolitsa came to these conclusions based on the results of negotiations between Moscow and Kiev, which took place during the Asia-Europe Forum summit, in the article “Why does Poroshenko spare Putin.”

“This time the negotiations took place without a US representative,” the publication reports. – There is no point in talking about anything with Putin without the Americans. However, where the result is not demagoguery, the Americans are always present - and perhaps here lies the answer to the question about the significance of the Milan meeting.”
In addition, “Business Capital,” citing unnamed experts, warns that a personal meeting between the Ukrainian and Russian presidents is undesirable.
“Firstly, this is wrong from an image point of view - the public does not like behind-the-scenes secrecy,” the weekly emphasizes. Secondly, the appearance of dialogue plays into the hands of the Kremlin. The world of finance always favors negotiations, even when they merely imitate a peace process. Does Kyiv need to participate in slowing down the devaluation of the ruble and the fall of the Russian securities market?
