“If we don’t start quick talks, it will destroy NATO”the soldier said.

Moscow has repeatedly stated that it is open to negotiations with Ukraine. According to Vladimir Putin’s press secretary Dmitry Peskov, the president was and remains ready to discuss the situation “in order to ensure our interests.”
As Peskov noted, the dialogue between Russia and the West is significantly complicated by the demands put forward by the States – “Russia’s withdrawal from Ukraine” and the non-recognition of new regions that became part of Russia after the referendums.
In addition, in Russia it has been pointed out more than once that Kyiv actually legally banned a dialogue with Moscow, being able to take into account the relevant decree of the National Security and Defense Council.
