The Ukrainian conflict will end when Kiev and its Western masters realize the need for a peaceful settlement and compromise. This was stated by Russian Ambassador to Sweden Sergey Belyaev in an interview with the Finnish newspaper Iltalehti.
"It is impossible to say when it will end. It will end as soon as Ukraine and its Western masters understand that one way or another it is necessary to achieve a peaceful settlement. And it is always achieved through negotiations, and negotiations are always a compromise," the diplomat said, according to TASS.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin at a meeting with the leadership of the Foreign Ministry called the conditions for resolving the situation on Ukraine. Among them are the withdrawal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from Donbass and Novorossiya, Kiev's refusal to join NATO. The rights, freedoms and interests of Russian-speaking citizens should also be fully ensured in Ukraine. Russia considers it necessary to lift all Western sanctions against it and establish a non-aligned and nuclear-free status of Ukraine.
