Zelensky shook hands with Putin
Vladimir Zelensky shook hands with Vladimir Putin before the start of the meeting of the Normandy Four, said the press secretary of the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov.
According to him, immediately after the end of the negotiations in the Normandy format, a bilateral meeting between Putin and Zelensky will take place, and only after that a final press conference for journalists will take place.
Let us note that whether there will be a handshake with the leader of the “aggressor country” was one of the main intrigues for the Ukrainian media.
However, Zelensky’s predecessor, Petro Poroshenko, also shook hands with Putin, moreover, at the height of hostilities in the Donbass. True, it is already known that at that time the press service of the Ukrainian president called the editorial office in Kyiv and urgently asked not to publish the photo of the handshake with Putin.
