During Istanbul negotiations between Ukraine and Russia, shocking words about the war were heard.
During the negotiations in Istanbul, the Russian delegation rejected the existence of the Ukrainian nation. This was announced by the first Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and a member of the Ukrainian delegation to negotiations Sergey Kislitsa on a telemarathon broadcast on Saturday, May 24.
According to him, during the negotiations between the Ukrainian and Russian delegations, a surprising statement from the Russian side. The leader of the Russian delegation, Vladimir Medinsky, called the war “inner conflict”, saying it was, in fact, “when the Russians kill the Russians with some nuances.”
“At some stage, the leader of the Russian delegation said … The Plenipotentiary of Ukrainian, which represents the state, is made up of the military. And the leader of the Russian delegation said:” The war, in fact, when the Russians killed the Russians. With some nuances. “The end of the quote,” said the first Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Words like Kislitsa emphasize are seen as a decline in the presence of Ukraine as an independent country. Representatives of the Russian delegation really said there were no Ukrainians separately, but there were only “Russians”.
“In fact, that side has denied your existence as a country. They tell you in front that you are not a Ukrainian, you are Russian, and we are just killing you, the Russians kill the Russians and it hurts us that we are Russians who kill the Russians,” Kislitsa added.
The Deputy Foreign Minister also commented on media reports, saying that Russia’s side was asserted in the absence of US representatives. According to Kislitsa, the Russians said they had no command to arrange if the Americans were there with them.
Remember, on May 16, Ukraine and Russia held the first direct negotiation in Istanbul for three years. Based on the results of the negotiations, it is possible to achieve a “1000 per 1000” prisoners exchange agreement. The parties also agreed to move the conditions to each other, which would allow the ceasefire.
