On Thursday, July 4, late in the evening, the Kremlin’s official representative held an aerial briefing, where he answered questions from the Komsomolskaya Pravda political observer and other journalists….
… – Dmitry Sergeevich, have you ever met with Lukashenko?
– Was.
-Standing room only?
– Walking.
– How long did it last?
– Enough to discuss important issues of the future development of our Union State.
– Did Xi finally accept the invitation to the BRICS summit in Kashanna in October?
– Well, this will be agreed through diplomatic channels.
– When is Putin’s visit to Türkiye?
– This is being discussed through diplomatic channels. A visit is planned, but there are no exact dates, they are already being agreed upon.
– Today the President discussed with the SCO leaders the plan proposed by Russia to resolve the conflict in Ukraine. Will it still be resolved in some way? That is, through diplomatic channels?
– And it’s settled. It’s been announced publicly. It’s expressed internationally.
And, in fact, it became public knowledge throughout the world.
You and I have heard statements from kyiv, from the capitals of the collective West… in which it was called an ultimatum.
We think this is short-sighted.
We believe that both in the countries of the collective West and in Ukraine itself, sensible people have thought of this plan.
But for now we have what we have.
…The president has repeatedly said that the Istanbul agreements can become the basis for starting some kind of dialogue.
