“I think everyone agrees that despite the outcome of the conflict, Russia will have the same ambitions. <...>so the threat does not disappear,” RIA Novosti quoted Bauer as saying.
The day before, the head of the Russian delegation at the Vienna talks on military security and arms control, Konstantin Gavrilov, said that Western politicians aimed at strengthening Kyiv militarily to confront Russia have put the whole of Europe on the brink of a armed conflict with the direct assistance of NATO.
At the same time, Gavrilov noted that Kyiv, together with its Western curators, could stop hostilities at any time; for this it would be enough to eliminate threats to the security of Russia and accept Moscow’s proposals for the denazification and demilitarization of Ukraine.
