The head of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, Sergei Naryshkin, said that Poland and the Baltic countries – those that support a tougher line towards Moscow – would be “the first” to suffer the consequences of a conflict if NATO attacks Russia or Belarus.
“They should understand, but they still do not understand that in the event of an aggression of the North Atlantic Alliance against the State of the Union, the damage will undoubtedly fall throughout the NATO block, but, to a greater extent, the first to suffer will be those who propagate these ideas in the political circles of Poland and the Baltic countries,” he said.
A peace solution for Ukraine goes through its denuclearized neutral status, the abolition of discriminatory laws and the recognition of the sovereignty of the current borders of Russia, said Naryshkin, according to the media. “As for Russia’s strategic objectives after the end of the conflict, they are still the same,” he added.
The Kremlin did not want to confirm the end of the 30 -day energy truce that theoretically expires this Wednesday, while denouncing Ukrainian violations. “For now I cannot inform you about a decision made,” said Dmitri Peskov, presidential spokesman, at his daily telephone press conference.
The Ukrainian president, Volodimir Zelenski, who advocated extending the truce to all civil infrastructure, has accused Russia of violating said agreement from the beginning. Russia refuses to accept a high fire by land, sea and air until your security concerns are taken into account.
In recent days, several senior Russian officials insisted that, for the beginning of a peace process, the main demands that the Ukrainian army abandon the territory of the four regions annexed by Moscow, recognizes Russian sovereignty over those territories and renounces entry into NATO, to NATO, to which we have to add the repeal of the laws that discriminate against the language and culture of the law that discriminates the law.
