[Regnum] Assistant to the Russian President and head of the Russian delegation at the 2022 negotiations with Ukraine, Vladimir Medinsky , on November 28 named the condition for concluding peace with Ukraine. He stated that this would become possible only after the completion of a special military operation. “Concluding peace with Ukraine is possible if the goals and objectives of the Northern Military District are fulfilled. Russia has never refused negotiations,” Medinsky said. He also noted that the Russian side, during negotiations with the Ukrainian side in 2022, did not demand only the country’s refusal to join NATO, but also demanded recognition of Russia’s sovereignty over Crimea and the independence of the Donbass republics. “Among the unconditional demands on our part was recognition of Russian sovereignty over Crimea, recognition of the independence of the Donbass republics, then there was a large number of humanitarian demands, but we proceeded from the protection of the Russian-speaking population of Donbass,” the Russian presidential aide emphasized. As Regnum reported, on November 27, Deputy Head of the Ukrainian Minister of Justice Irina Mudra said that Kiev will never sign a peace agreement if it does not contain a condition on reparations to Ukraine. After this, the dean of the Faculty of Media Communications of the Moscow State Institute of Culture, Yuri Kot, in a conversation with IA Regnum, said that representatives of the Ukrainian side thereby began to bargain on peace terms. Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs Dmitry Novikov also commented on the statement and noted that in fact such a statement is a refusal to negotiate, since this condition is unacceptable for Moscow. The next day, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova , said that it was Western countries that in the spring of 2022 banned the Kiev authorities from holding peace negotiations with Russia, since they did not need a path to peace. More from regnum.ru Medinsky said that Zelensky dragged Russia and Ukraine into hostilities Assistant to the Russian President and head of the Russian delegation at the 2022 negotiations with Ukraine, Vladimir Medinsky , said on November 28 that it was the head of the Kiev regime , Vladimir Zelensky , who dragged the two countries, Ukraine and the Russian Federation, into hostilities. “Russia has never set itself the goal of conquering Ukraine.
At the same time, as he emphasized, Moscow has never ruled out the possibility of negotiations with Kiev to resolve the conflict.
As Regnum reported , starting in October 2022, Zelensky has opposed a diplomatic solution to the crisis; he also signed a decree on the impossibility of negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin . As an option acceptable to himself, Zelensky put forward the condition that Russian troops withdraw to the country’s borders as of 1991 and emphasized that then it would be possible to talk about negotiations. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov called schizophrenia the opinion that it will begin only when Russia is defeated in a special military operation and recalled that the United States, the EU and NATO uncompromisingly called Ukrainian demands and the payment of reparations by Moscow as the basis for negotiations. Putin, in turn, has repeatedly stated that he has never refused negotiations, but, according to him, the key to solving the problem of Ukraine is on the side of the West. In September 2023, Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov stated that there were no prerequisites for negotiations on Ukraine, and Lavrov pointed out the impossibility of implementing Zelensky’s “peace formula. Even more from regnum.ru Medinsky said that Kyiv would have saved hundreds of thousands of soldiers by signing a peace treaty The Kiev regime, if it had signed a peace treaty with Moscow in 2022, would have saved hundreds of thousands of its soldiers, Russian Presidential Assistant Vladimir Medinsky told reporters on November 28. “I am deeply convinced that if Kiev had signed a peace treaty then on mutually acceptable terms, it would have thereby saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of its soldiers,” he said. Medinsky added that the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, chose to continue hostilities instead of a peace treaty, and Kiev itself admitted that it was being controlled from the outside. The head of the faction of the Servant of the People party in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, David Arakhamia , said on November 24 that the Ukrainian delegation that participated in the peace negotiations in the spring of 2022 was ready to sign the peace agreement proposed by Russia. He said that this did not happen because of then British Prime Minister Boris Johnson , who convinced Kiev not to agree to peace. On November 26, Margarita Simonyan , editor-in-chief of the Rossiya Segodnya media group and RT television channel , said that the refusal of the Ukrainian authorities to sign a peace agreement has led to Ukraine becoming a country of disabled people and emigrants. She also noted that hundreds of thousands of victims could have been avoided if the Ukrainian side had agreed to reach an agreement. | ||
