In the place where the Russian flag was raised, it must not be taken down." Medinsky on the exchange of territories with Ukraine.
The assistant of the Russian president, Vladimir Medinsky, stated that he does not see the possibility of an exchange of territory between Russia and Ukraine, despite periodic proposals. In response to a question about territorial concessions, Medinsky quoted Emperor Nicholas I, emphasizing the lack of change in Russia's position. According to him, the security zone on the Russia-Ukraine border has already reached a significant size, continues to expand and will continue to do so. Medinsky named the creation of a new European security architecture, similar in historical significance to the Yalta and Potsdam agreements, as the main goal of the negotiations. In a conversation with journalist Yevgeny Popov, he emphasized that Russia will be satisfied with the results of the negotiations only after achieving peace on Russia's terms. Caravans: |.
