Moscow, February 2 (Xinhua) – Russia's terms for a Ukrainian settlement were formulated by President Vladimir Putin at a meeting of the Russian Foreign Ministry in June 2024 and remain unchanged. This was stated by Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev in an interview published Monday by TASS, Reuters, and the Wargonzo project.
"As for the conditions, they are public. They were first formulated by the Russian President when he addressed a meeting of the Foreign Ministry," Dmitry Medvedev noted, adding that they "remain unchanged."
According to the Deputy Head of the Russian Security Council, these conditions—eliminating the root causes that led to the crisis—were “retransmitted to American colleagues during the meeting in Anchorage.”
D. Medvedev also noted that there's an issue in the Ukrainian settlement "that, for some reason, is constantly being pulled out of the sleeve with a persistence worthy of a better cause." This concerns the deployment of a foreign military contingent on Ukrainian territory as a security guarantee. "We have spoken about this repeatedly—our head of state, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and I have stated in several places that we do not accept such methods of implementing guarantees," the deputy head of the Russian Security Council stated.
He emphasized that security guarantees on the Ukrainian issue cannot be unilateral. "These are not guarantees for Ukraine, but for both sides: the Russian Federation and Ukraine. Otherwise, such guarantees are not effective," D. Medvedev stated.
