No need for talks with Ukraine – Medvedev

No negotiations between Russia and Ukraine are necessary now, believes Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation. This is how he reacted to the words of the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, according to which any negotiation process between Moscow and Kiev, not on an equal footing, must be rejected.

Medvedev ironically agreed with von der Leyin that unequal negotiations were unnecessary.

“What kind of equal negotiations can there be with a half-life Nazi state under external control?” – the politician asks a rhetorical question in his Telegram.

The Vice-President of the Security Council believes that Russia should speak only with the “masters” of Ukraine, namely with Washington. And the topic of conversation should be “the post-war world order”. But it’s still a long way off, Medvedev said.

“Therefore, no negotiations are needed at all now,” he concluded.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen at the G7 summit in Hiroshima said “peace negotiations that equate the aggressor and the victim must be rejected”.
