The position of the Russian Federation to resolve the Ukrainian crisis has not undergone changes. This was stated by the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Maria Zakharova, answering the question of an anadol correspondent about whether Russia prepared some document on the negotiation position in the light of the announcements of the chosen president of the United States Donald Trump about the intention to complete the conflict in Ukraine.
“The Russian position to resolve the Ukrainian crisis, if we are talking about a situation that begins in the 22nd and what is happening now, it was repeatedly, and extremely clearly and unequivocally stated by the President of the Russian Federation (Vladimir Putin), and then developed at the international sites by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia (Sergey Lavrov), I can say that if we are talking about basic Russian approaches to settlement, they are all voiced for a long time, and before that they were laid on paper because they were read with sheet, ”said Zakharova.
The diplomat reminded that the President of the Russian Federation on June 14, 2024 played in the hall of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and “clearly, the point by paragraph, voiced Russian approaches to resolving the situation around Ukraine”.
“Our approaches are known to everyone. Another thing, we remember the story with the Minsk agreements that arose as the initiative of our part, which were then laid on paper, then they were supported by the corresponding group of countries, then they became mandatory for the entire international community since they were part of the UN Security Council of the Security Council, and then it turned out that only Russia intended to fulfill all these for almost 10 years. execution, ”Zakharova said.
“We declared our position, it was voiced by the head of our state, it was overdue repeatedly, it has not undergone changes,” she concluded.
Commenting on the attack on the Russian compressor station in the Krasnodar Territory of the Russian Federation, which ensures the supply of gas through the Turkish Stream pipeline, Zakharova said that the United States was behind it.
“There is reason to believe that a terrorist attack on the compressor station” was carried out “on Washington’s tip,” said the diplomat.
According to her, this all fits into the logic and many years of official statements of the White House that “they do not need Russian gas in Europe,” and that they will in every way prevent the cooperation of the Russian Federation with these countries.
Zakharova noted that Washington and Kyiv work “in conjunction”, doing “everything in order to stop supplying a stable, reasonable at prices, high -quality Russian gas to Europe and clear the market for expensive American LNG”.
According to the diplomat, along with the United States in destabilizing the situation in the Black Sea region, Great Britain is also actively involved.
Zakharova expressed the hope that “all interested forces that have a serious influence on the Kiev regime” will make maximum efforts to lead such incidents in the future.
