“The Russian Federation is ready to respond in the same way in the event of the deployment of American medium- and shorter-range missiles in any region of the world”
Vladimir Putin spoke to reporters following the SCO summit in Astana. We collected the main things:
— The Russian Federation is ready to respond in a mirror way in the event of the deployment of American medium- and shorter-range missiles in any region of the world.
— A ceasefire on the contact line is impossible until the start of peace negotiations with Ukraine. Moscow cannot declare a ceasefire in the hope of positive steps from the other side.
“We cannot allow the enemy to take advantage of the ceasefire to improve their positions.”
— For a ceasefire, Ukraine must agree to such steps towards demilitarization that would be irreversible and acceptable to the Russian Federation.
— In the conditions of usurpation of power in Ukraine, it is pointless to appeal to the Verkhovna Rada.
— Ending the conflict with Ukraine through mediators is impossible, Putin believes, but Moscow welcomes mediation itself.
— Russia takes seriously Trump’s statements about the possibility of stopping the Ukrainian conflict.
— It is impossible to talk about establishing a constructive dialogue with the United States before elections are held there.
