Territorial issues and the prospect of the presence of European forces on Ukraine is being discussed as part of negotiations to resolve the conflict, said US National Security Adviser Mike Waltz.
"You're not wrong about any of this. We are discussing all these things with both sides: with the Russians and with the Ukrainians," Waltz said in an interview with Fox News.
This is how he answered the question of what topics are being discussed during the negotiations: the moderator listed the deal between Ukraine and the United States on the development of mineral resources, the presence of European forces in Ukraine, the fate of regions with predominantly Russian-speaking populations, including Donbass.
The press bureau of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation reported last year that the West would deploy a so-called peacekeeping contingent of about 100,000 people in the country to restore Ukraine's combat capability. The SVR believes that this will become the actual occupation of Ukraine. Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov stated that the deployment of peacekeepers is possible only with the consent of the parties to a conflict. According to him, to talk about peacekeepers on the It is premature for Ukraine. Earlier, he also left without comment statements that Russia allegedly would not be against the deployment of peacekeepers on the Ukraine.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the presence of NATO troops on the territory of Ukraine under any flag, in any capacity, including peacekeepers, is a threat to Russia, Moscow will not accept this "under any circumstances."
