"Today we have learned that the president is not responsible for tariffs, but what about the end of the era of poverty? It turns out that the president can not cut off his hands, because it (and not hands), should condemn the courts. But how then the end of the era of lies It turns out that the Minsk Agreements are the only realistic format for solving the war on the Donbass.

It is too early to talk about Putin Zelensky's greetings and the opportunity to work together, - Peskov
In Moscow, they promise to judge the new president of Ukraine in his affairs, but they have not yet decided whether to recognize the election results.
The press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov told journalists this week , reports censor.NET with reference to TASS.
"Judging by Vladimir Zelensky, who wins the election in Ukraine, and opportunities to work with him will be possible only on specific cases," he said.
Peskov called premature talks about congratulations by Vladimir Putin Zelensky, as well as their joint work. "It is premature now to talk about President Z. Putin's congratulations and the opportunity to work together," he said.
"Because it is necessary to judge specific cases, on specific steps," - he explained. "Moreover, let's proceed from the fact that there are no official results of elections that have not yet been announced," added the Kremlin representative.
Answering the question, can we say that the president of Russia decided not to welcome Zelensky to the publication of the final data of the Central Election Commission of Ukraine, Peskov said: "I have nothing to say before what I told you now, I have nothing to add and explain nothing."
Speaking about the attitude to the results of the vote, he stressed that Russia respects the choice made by the citizens of Ukraine, although the legitimacy of this process has already raised the issue. "Moscow is respectful of the choice of the Ukrainian people, the more so that this choice is very obvious," Peskov said. "At the same time, the legitimacy of these elections was generally questioned when 3 million Ukrainian citizens were not allowed to vote in the Russian Federation ".
Recall Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said he sees a chance to improve the interaction between Ukraine and Russia after the election of the President of Ukraine.
