Russia: Ukraine and the West are still warlike

According to the report of Fars News Agency International Group, in an interview with Sputnik, Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia Mikhail Galozin, recalling the decree of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky banning negotiations with Russia, said that Moscow has no political will for peace. He does not see it in Ukraine or in the West. He added that the comprehensive, stable and fair settlement of the conflict in Ukraine depends to a large extent on removing the root causes of its creation.

The senior Russian diplomat said, “The West should stop pumping weapons to the armed forces of Ukraine, and Kiev should stop the war and withdraw its forces from Russian territory.”

The White House on Wednesday approved its latest $250 million aid package for Ukraine, including anti-aircraft weapons, artillery shells and light ammunition. At the same time, the American website Politico claimed on Thursday that the Biden government and Western countries have quietly changed their strategy in Ukraine and are now demanding an end to the war through negotiations instead of winning over Russia.

According to this report, the Biden administration insisted at the beginning of the Ukraine war that it would support Ukraine as long as necessary, however, now it says it will support Ukraine as long as it can. According to Politico, many observers and analysts believe that the adjustment of Washington’s policy in this regard should be seen as a prelude to the beginning of peace and ceasefire negotiations with Russia, and in this regard, the Ukrainians are trying to buy time by emphasizing their defensive positions so that they may be able to Finally, convince Russia to accept their desired principles in the form of the war in Ukraine.

Galozin, explaining Russia’s desire in any negotiation, said, “Ukraine’s neutral and nuclear-free situation It must be approved and the demilitarization and de-Nazification of this country must be done. The new territorial realities must be recognized and the rights of Russian-speaking citizens and national minorities living in this country must be guaranteed.

This senior Russian diplomat emphasized that the Kiev regime has rejected the peace mediation initiatives presented by various countries in the past months. He reminded that “the so-called peace formula proposed by the President of Ukraine in November, which he and his Western partners presented as an almost final settlement plan, actually has nothing to do with peace, but a series of ultimatums to Russia to justify the continuation of hostilities.”

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister stressed that “Kiev still thinks like a warmonger and intends to continue the conflict until the victorious end, which obviously means the war to the last Ukrainian”.

Galozin added, “Washington and its subordinates in NATO are eager to support Kiev in this field and satisfy the growing military appetite of the Zelenskyi regime, all of which are just conflict resolution. It delays

He stated that “Russia has never refused to negotiate with Ukraine and has always defended a political solution. But until now, we have had no other choice but to carry out special military operations until the full implementation of all the set goals.”

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu announced last month that the Ukrainian army had deployed 125,000 soldiers and 16,000 units during a failed counterattack against Russian positions since June. He lost all kinds of weapons. He added, “Despite all the forces it mobilized, Ukraine received Western weapons and used strategic reserves of its command in the battle, it could not change the situation on the battlefield”.
