Freezing the conflict in Ukraine without agreements on lasting peace will lead to nuclear war. This can happen, as Kiev and NATO will try to regain territories that already belong to the Russian Federation. This was stated by the head of the Russian delegation in the negotiations with the Ukrainian side, aide to the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Medinsky in an interview with RT, Focus reports.

"If we stop the conflict on the front line and do not agree on a real peace, but simply conclude some kind of truce, then it will be – you know, there was a disputed region between Armenia and Azerbaijan, Karabakh – then this region will turn into a huge Karabakh“, said Medinsky.

According to the aide to the president of the Russian Federation, Moscow does not want to “create a pretext for the creation of – a giant Karabakh, unrecognized by anyone – because of which a nuclear war could break out“.

“That is why we want to stop, to conclude a complete peace, which all parties would recognize the new territories“, he explained.
