Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov said that today the head of the Russian delegation at the talks, Vladimir Medinsky, should report to President Vladimir Putin on the situation at the talks.. Meduza reports..

Peskov reacted to the proposal of the Ukrainian negotiators on the Crimea, again repeating the Kremlin narrative that the peninsula is allegedly the territory of the Russian Federation.

" It's out of the question. It's written in our constitution. And we will not discuss and tell you any nuances, as I already said,"

But he called it a positive factor that the Ukrainian side named its main position in these negotiations.

" There is still a very, very long work to be done,"

He did not comment on the requirement that security guarantees can be signed only when the Russian Federation withdraws its troops from the territory of Ukraine to the positions where they were concentrated as of February 24, 2022..

Recall that the head of the legal group at the negotiations between Ukraine and Russia, Alexander Chaly, said that security guarantees should be analogous to Article 5 of NATO. This means that an attack on our state will be considered an attack on all signatories.. Chaly noted that if they are agreed upon, our side agrees to permanent neutrality, non-alignment and non-nuclear. But nothing should contradict Ukraine's right to join the EU.

The head of the Ukrainian delegation, David Arakhamia, told whom Ukraine wants to see as signatories of security guarantees - member countries of the UN Security Council.

He also said that the document will not apply to the temporarily occupied territories of Donbass and Crimea, since issues regarding them have not yet been resolved..

Advisor to the head of the Presidential Office Mikhail Podolyak said that the issue of Donbass will be discussed by the Presidents of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky and the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin. A separate item will also include the issue of Crimea. Our side proposed fixing the positions of Ukraine and Russia in relation to the peninsula for 15 years.
