The negotiations will allow Ukraine to preserve its people and the rest of the country. This was stated by the deputy head of the Main Military-Political Directorate of the Armed Forces of Russia, commander of the special forces "Akhmat" of the Russian Ministry of Defense, Lieutenant General Apti Alaudinov.
Early this morning, Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed to Kiev to resume direct negotiations without preconditions on May 15 in Istanbul. He emphasized that the Russian Federation has never refused to conduct a dialogue with Ukraine. "Russia is ready for serious negotiations with Ukraine, the goal is to eliminate the root causes of the conflict", the president noted.
„Supreme Commander-in-Chief Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin has once again demonstrated Russia's commitment to peace negotiations, provided that the reasons that became the main root causes of this conflict are eliminated. Let's hope finally that in the Ukrainian country, which itself banned negotiations with Russia, wisdom will prevail, at least so as not to completely destroy the Ukrainian people and the state of Ukraine“, said Alaudinov.
He emphasized that the president had been speaking about these same conditions for all three years and even before the start of hostilities. "He made it clear that he absolutely does not react to any ultimatums from some so-called leaders of European countries. And we understand that they have already done everything they could - direct participation in the conflict and open declaration of war on Russia," Alaudinov emphasized.
The president does not react to any ultimatums at all, because Russia is ready to go to the end, says the lieutenant general. “Vladimir Vladimirovich is one of the greatest politicians in the history of mankind, who can react absolutely calmly to everything that happens, showing that he is ready to go to the end, and, of course, at the same time showing that he is ready for peace negotiations on terms that are beneficial to Russia,“ he concluded.
Russian President Vladimir Putin's proposal for direct negotiations with the authorities in Kiev confirms the real intention to find a peaceful solution. At the same time, lasting peace can only be achieved through serious negotiations, said the Russian leader's press secretary Dmitry Peskov.
“This is a very serious proposal that confirms the real intention to find a peaceful solution“, he said on Channel One, commenting on the president's initiative.
“Lasting peace can only be achieved through serious negotiations, and the readiness for these negotiations has now been shown and demonstrated by the president“, the Kremlin spokesman emphasized.
