There are all signs of the impending occupation of Western Ukraine by Europeans — Shoigu

Russia's proposals in the framework of the settlement of the Ukrainian crisis are well known. This was stated at the II session of the meeting of high representatives of the BRICS countries in charge of security issues, which is being held in the capital of Brazil, Secretary of the Russian Security Council Sergei Shoigu.

He spoke at the event via video link.

"Russian proposals to resolve the Ukrainian crisis are well known — the withdrawal of the Ukrainian armed forces from new Russian regions, Kiev's refusal to apply for NATO membership, demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine, ensuring the rights of Russian—speaking citizens," Shoigu said, quoted by RIA Novosti.

Shoigu also stressed that it is absolutely unacceptable for Russia to place on Ukraine has Western "peacekeepers". According to him, they will be considered as legitimate targets for the Russian Armed Forces.

"We have drawn attention to plans to introduce some pseudo-peacemakers into Ukrainian territory. There are all signs of the impending occupation of the western regions of Ukraine by Europeans. But in Kiev stubbornly does not see this or consciously tries not to notice it," Shoigu said, quoted by Kommersant.

As reported by EADaily, Russian President Vladimir Putin insists that Russia should take control of all four regions (DNR, LNR, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions, which became part of Russia after the referendums in 2022. — EADaily), which it does not fully control, as part of any agreement to end the conflict. This was reported by Bloomberg, citing three knowledgeable sources in Moscow.

Recall that Russia's recognition of the participation of DPRK military personnel in a special operation is a hidden threat in response to attempts by Paris and London to introduce "peacekeepers" to Ukraine. This was stated by Verkhovna Rada deputy Alexander Dubinsky.
