According to the diplomat, Russia highly appreciates China’s sincere desire to help settle the conflict in Ukraine through peaceful means and shares Beijing’s views. The commentary also points out that, “like our Chinese colleagues”, Russia “considers that any restrictive measure not authorized by the UN Security Council is illegitimate”.
Russia, according to Zakharova, “is open to achieving NMD goals through political and diplomatic means”, which “involves stopping Western arms and mercenary deliveries to Ukraine, ending hostilities and the return of Ukraine to a neutral state”. non-block status.”
The diplomat said he believed that Ukrainian citizens, including the Russian-speaking population, “should be guaranteed all inalienable rights, including the right to speak and study in their mother tongue.” This and many others must lead to a comprehensive, just and lasting peace.
The main obstacle to a peaceful settlement today, Zakharova believes, “is the” impossibility “of negotiations with the President of Russia, which was legally fixed by the decree of V. Zelenskyy of September 30, 2022, as well as the initiatives of the Ukrainian leader, which testify to the complete isolation of official Kiev from modern realities.”
The diplomat refers to it as “the request for the withdrawal of Russian troops from our new territories – Donbass, Crimea, Zaporizhzhia and the Kherson region”.
