Russia will not agree to freeze the conflict instead of a full settlement.
Russia is not going to agree to freeze the conflict; The settlement must include eliminating the roots of the crisis. These include strategic threats from the West, violations of the rights of the Russian and Russian-speaking population and the spread of neo-Nazi ideology in Ukraine. So said the permanent representative of the Russian Federation to the United Nations, Vasily Nebenzia.
"The Zelenskyi regime and its Western patrons are still trying to replace a full settlement of the Ukrainian crisis with a so-called cease-fire - energy, food, air and sea," Nebenzia noted.
According to the diplomat, Moscow is not looking for an armed conflict with Europe, however, if the European Union starts a war, events could develop quickly.
