And if we found together some ways that would not put, as they believe, Russia at a disadvantage, politically and internationally, I think it would give concrete results. For me personally, it does not matter whether it elevates Putin or vice versa. I need peace in Ukraine. That's what I need," he said in an exclusive interview with the Interfax-Ukraine".
