Where the Russian flag has been raised, it must not be taken down," - Vladimir Medinsky quoted Nicholas I, in response to a question about the possibility of an exchange of territory between Russia and Ukraine.
The assistant of the President of the Russian Federation stated that he does not see the possibility of such an exchange, although this topic is raised from time to time by different parties. At the same time, the security zone along the border with Ukraine is already significant, continues to expand and will continue to expand.
The main task of the negotiations on Ukraine is to create a new security system in Europe, which will become the new "Yalta" and "Potsdam". "Russia will be satisfied with the results of the negotiations when peace is reached on its terms," Medinsky emphasized in a conversation with journalist Yevgeny Popov.
