This is a wall: Poland, Czech Republic and Slovakia opposed the dialogue with the Russian Federation
Mateusz Moravetsky, Petr Faial and Edward Heger stated that the event had been trying to lead a peaceful dialogue with the Kremlin for years, teaching his views and proposing to discuss differences. At the same time, no practical result has brought this approach, and the process itself resembled a conversation with the wall, representatives of three countries consider.
"Restraint and strength must lie at the heart of our position; dialogue can be a means of expressing determination and resolving tension, but should not be regarded as an end in itself," the publication reads. The premieres emphasize that the foundation of Moscow's restraint policy should be the general strategy of the West, based on military force, rigid sanctions, isolation of the Russian Federation and transatlantic unity.
"Our call should be taken seriously: if Russia wins and Ukraine falls, Central Europe may be next," politicians said. The premieres are convinced that Ukraine's support should continue until the full liberation of its territory from Russian invaders. The cessation of war with the Russian Federation, subject to the control of the Crimean aggressor and occupied eastern regions, called the premiere "open invitation to all authoritarian insane.
" "The world is possible only on the conditions of Ukraine. Freezing conflicts is a favorite way of Russia to win time, pretending that it is finishing the war," - said the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland. They assured that military assistance to Ukraine is also useful to the defense industry of its partners and makes the Alliance stronger. Prime Ministers stressed that the support of Ukrainians does not mean undermining their own defense capability.
"And we must remember that the people of Ukraine are watching our constant discussions about the type of weapons that we are not going to send. While some of us may seduce fatigue from the war, Ukrainians continue to defend their country and their lives," the general is said articles.
With regard to the possibility of building productive dialogue of Ukraine with Russia, from Moscow's point of view, it can only take place "on the basis of Russian legitimate interests and Russian legitimate concerns that we have taught and marked in dialogue with our Western colleagues for many years, including our relations with the Euro -Atlantic alliance ", said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov on April 7 during a visit to Turkey.
At the same time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation rejected the participation of the Western countries in peace negotiations, as they are allegedly participants in the conflict, Rosmi wrote on March 21. In addition, they insist on the removal of all sanctions, and consider the impossible participation of the US, Britain to Germany and France as intermediaries.
It is also significant that Russian President Vladimir Putin on January 5, during a telephone conversation with a Turkish colleague Recep Taiip Erdogan, stated that Ukraine should accept the political settlement of the conflict with "new territorial realities". Since then, the Kremlin's position has hardly changed.
We will remind, according to the adviser to the head of OP Mikhail Podolyak, announced on April 19, any line of demarcation and seizure of Ukrainian territories by Russia is the complete surrender of Kiev. Moscow will only froze the conflict and stretch Western allies on March 16, the Secretary of the NSDC of Ukraine Alexey Danilov said that the Minsk-3 agreements will not be, but Ukraine is ready to sit at the negotiating table to reconcile the Kremlin's surrender.
