Russia analyzes public statements following the negotiations of the delegations of the United States and Ukraine in the city of Gidd, but does not focus on them. This was stated at a briefing by the official representative of the Foreign Ministry of the Russian Federation Maria Zakharova.
“We carefully monitored and monitored the meetings of representatives of the United States and Ukraine in Jidd. We got acquainted with the statement adopted according to its results, which contains different ideas. At the moment, no official appeals to us have received this. We will be ready to discuss the initiatives presented there during future contacts with the American side. I can also say that such contacts are possible today” – – today, ” – She said the diplomat.
Zakharova noted that Moscow does not focus on the public statements that were made. “We analyze them, but we consider them as a public rhetoric,” said the diplomat, commenting, in particular, a proposal for a thirty -day ceasefire in Ukraine.
“What we are ready to offer us should not be considered by microphones, but in the relevant offices during the corresponding contacts, and this has not yet happened,” she said.
The diplomat believes that in relations with the United States it is necessary to focus on actions and specific actions, while noting positive rhetoric from the American side.
“We must take note of all signals, unconditionally. But we must first focus on actions and specific steps, specific actions not because we do not want to believe in the best, but because we have already become witnesses, unfortunately, as words diverge from deeds or then the meanings laid down in these words are distorted,” she said.
The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry also commented on the possibility of placing European peacekeepers in Ukraine.
“For us, it is absolutely unacceptable to place the units of the armed forces of other states in Ukraine under any flag, whether it is foreign contingents, military bases, certain peacekeeping operations that are offered by those who the word” peacekeeping “and” world “generally removed from their vocabulary. These are all the survey – this is all obvious, familiar, because all this will mean the involvement of these countries in a direct armed forces The conflict with our country, to which we will respond with all the available means, ”she said.
At the same time, Zakharova indicated that Washington understands what the sending of peacekeepers from a military point of view can lead to.
“It is significant that Washington is distant from the plans of London, Paris, at least in words, to place some kind of contingent in Ukraine. I think that including because they suggest what this can lead to a military point of view,” she said.
