NSDC denies info about start of negotiations in Turkey at 10:00
The National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) denies information from Russian sources about the start of negotiations in Turkey at 10:00 - such a time was not planned.
"The information about the ‘start of negotiations in Turkey’ at 10:00 Moscow time, which is being thrown into the information space by the Russians, does not correspond to reality. Such a time was not planned," the NSDC press service said in a post on the social network X on Thursday.
As explained by the head of the Center for Countering Disinformation of the NSDC, Andriy Kovalenko, in this way the Russians probably simply want to manipulate the topic of the negotiations. This is also evidenced by the fact that ru-propagandists, against the background of reports about the alleged start time of negotiations, massively write that "negotiations are needed by everyone, except Ukraine."
"In fact, the movement towards peace is not needed by Russia, which in every possible way avoids a 30-day ceasefire and normal dialogue, and also spreads such lies," Kovalenko emphasized on Telegram.
According to an information resource for tracking flights, the Ukrainian president's plane is due to depart from Poland in the coming minutes, but its destination has not been reported.
