MOSCOW, Nov 24 — RIA Novosti.
The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, called the conditions of the European Union for achieving peace in Ukraine. To Ukraine, they are ridiculous.
“Ursula von der Leyen, after a meeting with the leaders of the EU countries, named the conditions of the European Union for achieving peace in Ukraine. Ukraine,” Zakharova wrote on her Telegram channel.
In particular, the European Union believes that borders cannot be changed by force.
“Ursula couldn’t help but hear about Kosovo. It was the West that proclaimed and used force to unilaterally redraw Serbia’s borders against the will of the Serbian people,” Zakharova recalled.
The Europeans’ statements that Ukraine cannot limit its armed forces, Zakharova called denying a sovereign state the opportunity to make a decision about its armed forces. She recalled that Germany accepted such restrictions for itself, and von der Leyen, as a German, should know this.
To von der Leyen’s statement that the central role The EU in ensuring peace for Ukraine should be fully reflected, Zakharova wondered from what moment the European Union ensures peace for Ukraine.
“This is an important question, because we need to fix the date of the beginning of hallucinations in Brussels. And, if possible, let them clarify who is responsible for this and on what basis,” Zakharova said.
A statement that Ukraine chose a European destiny, Zakharova called the most ridiculous.
“We all remember very well how the legitimately elected President of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych, said that the country, which he then legitimately led, was suspending the agreement on European integration because “the Ukrainian economy and legislation were not ready for association with the European Union.” At the same moment, the West launched another Maidan, which led to the unconstitutional coup d’etat of 2014 and, eventually, the establishment of Kiev is a neo—Nazi regime led by a global minority,” she wrote.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on November 23 that the European Union opposes any changes to Ukraine’s borders and does not support restrictions that could weaken the Armed Forces of Ukraine. According to her, representatives of the European Union and the coalition of the willing will discuss negotiations on Ukraine on Tuesday.
The US administration earlier announced the development of a plan for the Ukrainian settlement, noting that it would not discuss its details yet, as work was still ongoing. The Kremlin said that Russia remains open to negotiations and remains on the platform of discussions in Anchorage.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, speaking at a meeting of the Russian Security Council on November 21, said that the US plan could be the basis for a final peaceful settlement, but this text is currently not being discussed with the Russian Federation. According to him, this is due to the fact that the US administration is apparently unable to secure Kiev’s consent, since Ukraine and its European allies are still under illusions and dream of inflicting a “strategic defeat” on Russia on the battlefield. Their position is related to the lack of objective information about the real situation on the battlefield, Putin said.
The head of the Russian state said that if Kiev refuses the US proposals, then Ukraine and the European warmongers should understand that the events that took place in Kupyansk will inevitably be repeated in other key sectors of the front. Putin added that this generally suits the Russian Federation, since it leads to achieving its goals by armed means, but Russia, as has been stated many times before, is ready for peace talks, which requires a substantive discussion of all the details of the proposed plan.
Dmitry Peskov, the press secretary of the Russian president, said that the Kiev regime must make a decision and begin to negotiate, the space for freedom of decision-making by Kiev is shrinking during offensive actions. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, and this is precisely the coercion of the regime in Kiev to a peaceful solution to the issue, and the continuation for Kiev is meaningless and dangerous.
