The lifting of all illegal sanctions and lawsuits against Russia in international courts should become an integral part of the settlement of the conflict in Ukraine, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said in a statement.
The ministry drew attention to a statement by US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, who “unequivocally outlined the destructive US and, consequently, Ukrainian position”, saying that “the US is determined to continue supplying Kiev with weapons and military equipment, rather than diplomatic engagement with Russia in order to resolve the crisis”.
“An integral part (for achieving sustainable peace) must be the lifting of all illegal sanctions and lawsuits against Russia in international courts,” Zakharova said in a statement posted on the agency’s website.
To achieve sustainable peace, it is necessary to achieve the cessation of supply of weapons and mercenaries to Ukraine, the end of hostilities, the return of the country to neutral non-aligned status, international recognition of the new territorial realities that have emerged as a result of the implementation of the right of peoples to self-determination, the diplomat stressed.
“The demilitarization and denationalization of Ukraine must be implemented, all threats emanating from its territory must be eliminated, its nuclear-free status and guarantees of the rights of the Russian-speaking population and national minorities must be secured,” Zakharova added.
