Podoliak: "Of course not. There was no Rudyk at all. Not her level, not her competence. In general, it is very strange when such "information" or "journalists' mistakes" appear.

Because obviously – sorry, such things don’t happen without a secret hint from the politician themselves. A simple proposal to everyone, including Rudyk - "please put an end to your PR performances, because they are very harmful to the negotiation process and threaten the lives of our soldiers."

Earlier: The New York Times reported that Rudyk was involved in negotiations to evacuate Azovstal.
Rudyk's direct speech: "After many inquiries from the media, I would like to inform you that I am not taking part in the negotiations on the evacuation of hostages from Azovstal.

Moreover, there is not a word about this in the New York Times article.

Now is a very sensitive time and a critical moment for a complex operation to free our people.

I ask everyone to be as careful as possible with the information."
