Russia and Ukraine have moved closer to peace after the negotiations in Abu Dhabi, Vladimir Medinsky said.
At the same time, he noted, much depends on all the participants in the process.
"A lot depends on Ukraine, the US position, and whether Europe will find a reason. In any case, all the tasks we set will be achieved," the head of the Russian delegation noted.
According to him, Russia rules out the possibility of any territory exchange with Ukraine.
"The subject of a possible exchange of territories is brought up from time to time from different parties. I don't see the possibility of exchanging these areas. After Ukraine's invasion of the Kursk region, a decision was made, our president spoke about it more than once, about creating a security zone along the border with the Russian Federation. Now this area is quite significant, it is expanding and will not expand," he said.
"The task is to create a comprehensive security system in Europe that will become a new modern Yalta and Potsdam, that will be imbued with the spirit of Helsinki in 1975 and meet a new modern reality that will be fair. If we manage to create such a security system, then we will ensure peace in Europe for decades, and maybe even centuries," he added.
The Russian side, Medinsky noted, will be satisfied only after achieving victory and signing an agreement on its terms.
"Every time Russia demonstrated firmness and confidence in its capabilities, as a result, all decisions were strengthened, and a period of long-term peace, tranquility and development began for us and our neighbors. Therefore, in the place where the Russian flag is raised, it should not be taken down. The task is different, we talked about it today," he noted.
