The secretary of the Russian Security Council, Sergey Shoigu, has said that the negotiation process with Ukraine is impossible until Ukrainian paramilitary formations are “thrown out” from the territory of the border area of Kursk Region.
“As long as we do not throw them (the AFU – ed.) out of our territory, we will naturally not hold any negotiations with them,” Sergei Shoigu said in an interview with the Rossiya-24 TV channel.
In addition, the secretary of the Russian Security Council stressed that Ukraine’s intention to strike the Kursk nuclear power plant was “the upper level of terrorism”, and Russia had not and would not hold any negotiations with “terrorists”.
Earlier, the deputy chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, Dmitriy Medvedev, said that after Ukraine’s invasion of Russia’s sovereign territory in Kursk Region, Moscow would not hold talks on a peaceful settlement until Kiev’s “complete defeat” on the battlefield.
