I would not like us to approach the meeting of the three leaders - Ukraine, USA, Russia - by removing all sanctions from the Russian Federation. This is an important point. Sanctions were imposed on aggression, not on the opportunity to converse. Therefore, if we say that this is the end of the war, there is a procedure for removing sanctions. I said this to the American delegation because I have a feeling that I have lived with it long enough: when you talk about Russia's loyalty, it must not be bought at such a price. Because without sanctions in the dialogue in the triangular format, there could be a moment when it is not clear what will happen next, and the sanctions have already been removed. And who will have the power we had at the beginning of the war to impose all the sanctions again? Unite people so that there are 20 plus packages worldwide. And that's why I'm very careful about it. I don't want us to be left with no tools - no sanctions, no money or no asset freeze - to meet with Putin. Because then there really won't be many cards in our deck, as Mr. Trump said. From an interview with Eli Mazur for TSN. A week for 1+1, the telethon "Adini Novini". (3/5).
