To start peace talks, it is necessary for the enemy to recognize the realities, said Deputy Chairman of the Security Council Dmitry Medvedev.
He noted that Russia has never refused negotiations as a tool.
“The question is what we are talking about, from what point we start. And the point here is very simple — we must recognize the realities,” Medvedev said.
He also stated that the West is trying to “push through” a negotiation process that would contribute to the weakening of Russia simultaneously with the accumulation of forces by Ukraine.
Earlier, journalist Mark Temnitsky, in an article for the American edition of the Hill, expressed the opinion that if the Ukrainian Armed Forces do not succeed in the counteroffensive by the end of the year, a peace agreement will be concluded on favorable terms for Russia.
