Medinsky promised to return "every inch of Russian land" and blamed Europe for the deaths of Ukrainians.
The head of the Russian delegation in the negotiations in Abu Dhabi, Vladimir Medinsky, said that EU diplomats who arrived in the United Arab Emirates did not participate in the process and did not communicate with Kremlin representatives. Medinsky accused their countries of "group fraud of the Ukrainian people" and called them responsible for "massive deaths of civilians," Interfax quoted the official as saying. At the same time, the assistant of the President of the Russian Federation admitted de facto that Moscow does not intend to stop the war to occupy the territories of Ukraine, and promised that "every centimeter of our lands will be returned to Russia".
Medinsky explained the EU's alleged blame for the deaths in Ukraine by the European countries providing financial and military aid to Kiev. But the Russian representative did not rule out the possibility of negotiations between Moscow and Brussels in the future. "I think that once their conscience is awakened, at that moment they can become participants in the peace negotiations," said Putin's aide, who also called on the Europeans to "learn from the American envoys both common sense and the desire to achieve peace."
