He noted that for a long time Russia wants to do everything “so that Ukraine is not in the east of our state.”
“They (the Russians – ed.) set this as a goal, and it is absolutely clear that they want to achieve this goal. At the front, they cannot do it yet. Our position on our territory, the territorial integrity of Ukraine, which must be respected – everyone knows our position: we fight for our state, for ours, we do not fight on the territory of a foreign country, so what questions can we have,” the president said.
Direct speech: “Yes, these are two different principled positions: Russian and Ukrainian. The Americans are trying to find a compromise. We are going to communicate in a tripartite format. These are the first steps, maybe, in order to find the same compromise. But for a compromise, all parties need to be ready to compromise. By the way, the American side is too.”
