Extensive exchanges and diplomatic impasse: Kirill Budanov, David Arkhamia and Vladimir Medinsky concluded the difficult round of negotiations.
The main practical result of the past meetings will be the exchange of prisoners. According to the head of the People's Minister faction, David Arhamia, this round was one of the most difficult - the Russians came with very strict instructions, but the parties nevertheless managed to agree on the procedure. The stock market is supposed to be one of the biggest of all time.
Arhamiya also emphasized that the negotiations should be moved from a tripartite format to a multilateral format - with the direct participation of Europe, since it is about the future security of the entire continent. They plan to schedule the next meeting in Dublin after American representatives return from Moscow, hoping to keep the momentum going into the new year.
The speakers refer with restraint to the release of territories and the details of the negotiations:
The head of the OP Kirill Budanov, when asked by journalists whether the Russian Federation still demands the withdrawal of Ukrainian forces from Donbass, answered:.
"The issues that come up during the negotiations are issues of negotiations. Only the result matters. When we get to it, it will be made public."
At the same time, the head of the Russian delegation, Vladimir Medinsky, in a note to the Russian propaganda agency Roftali, stated that "every centimeter of Russian land will be returned by Russia in one way or another." He did not dare to make such a statement in a press conference.
