According to him, Russian demands and ultimatums have remained unchanged for many years.
Russia wants to limit the Ukrainian army, defense capabilities, military assistance from partners, and block Ukraine's accession to NATO
He emphasized that Russia's rhetoric reveals its true intentions.
All these demands have one thing in common: Moscow wants a weak, defenseless Ukraine. This is not about NATO or "security concerns." It is about Russia's ability to destroy the Ukrainian state at a later stage, occupy its territories, seize its mineral resources, and use its human and other potential for further aggression. There should be no illusions about this
He also noted that Moscow's rhetoric has now escalated to the level of 2022, with Russia "trying to take advantage of the current geopolitical moment."
"We see this Russian strategy and will never accept anything that leaves Ukraine weak or defenseless. On the contrary, a true and just peace requires reliable and long-term security guarantees to preserve it," the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry summarized.
Recall
Recently, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin put forward an initiative to introduce temporary international administration in Ukraine. According to him, this mechanism could operate under the auspices of the UN with the participation of a number of states to organize the electoral process.
