"The level of the Russian (delegation) is not known officially to me but from what we see, it looks more like it's on a decorative level," Mr Zelensky said.
“We need to understand what kind of level the Russian delegation is, and what mandate they have and whether they can make any decisions.”
Mr Zelensky said the Ukrainian delegation included his foreign minister, military and intelligence chiefs, and also senior officials from his office. REUTERS
