Russian delegation at the talks/Photos from open sources
Ukraine is negotiating with the Russian side to end the war and achieve peace. However, Russian diplomats behave like blackmailers and demand that Ukraine fulfill their demands.
This opinion was expressed by Russian publicist Andrei Piontkovsky. He said this on the air of Channel 24.
According to him, Russian negotiators, in particular Vladimir Medinsky and Leonid Slutsky, are not just privates, they are complete scoundrels and fascists .
The publicist says that they have their own views on Ukraine, on the entire post-Soviet community, and they adhere to it for decades.
They are not random. Russian negotiators will come as blackmailers to get everyone to agree to their terms. I think they (the conditions of the Russian Federation – redu) will be even worse than those voiced by Slutsky. Or we will move on to a completely different stage of the war. This sounds frankly on their channels,” Piontkovsky explained.
He added that propagandists daily repeat that the Ukrainian army is advancing for a long time, although the Russians themselves really settled in residential areas.
“This will be a conversation between blackmailers and terrorists. But I think that the Ukrainian leadership will help to make a choice with the support of the people and society,” the expert believes.
