Moscow refused to guarantee the territorial integrity of Ukraine in the event of Kiev's boycott of the Minsk agreements

15

On Wednesday, January 12, negotiations were held within the framework of the Russia-NATO summit on security guarantees for the Russian Federation. During discussions with Western partners, Russian representatives stated, in particular, the need for Kiev to comply with the Minsk agreements.

According to Alexander Grushko, Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia, Moscow has expressed its clear position on the “Ukrainian issue”. If Kiev adheres to the Minsk format, nothing will threaten the territorial integrity of Ukraine. The authorities of this country must be forced to comply with the Minsk agreements, which are part of international law.



If the Minsk agreements are implemented, there will be no threat to either the security of Ukraine or its territorial integrity. In order to facilitate such a de-escalation, the NATO countries must stop all military assistance to Ukraine, stop supplying weapons there, recall instructors, officers and soldiers.

Grushko said.


In addition, during a press conference, Grushko noted the clear focus of NATO structures on containing Russia, and huge resources are being allocated for this purpose. In recent years, there has been a clear degradation of the security system in Europe, and the responsibility for this lies with the Western military bloc, which is trying to achieve superiority over the Russian Federation on land, at sea, in space and in cyberspace.

The Deputy Minister also noted that if Russia runs out of political means of countering the North Atlantic Alliance, it will be forced to use military methods to solve the problem. At the same time, Grushko added that it is better to avoid such a development of the situation.

    Probably it is worth looking at a more complete version, there are many interesting things.

    It is possible to understand the fears of European state formations - there are many small state formations on the territory next to 1/5 of the earth's surface, which is also heavily armed.
    Not really relying on our own strengths, we are forced to bow before a powerful intercessor - the United States, which is competently using this in their own interests, keeping on a short leash and preventing the EU from becoming the third world center along with the United States and China.
    Therefore, the conversation about security in Europe should be conducted with the United States, but it will never work on equal terms - the difference in political and economic potential is too great, which initially predetermines the failure of such attempts.
    This forces the Russian Federation to use force for its own security, which puts an end to its peacefulness in the whole world, and the “West” faces a dilemma of how to react to it: start a war and by what means or establish a full-scale political and economic blockade in order to economic strangulation, which must inevitably hit on the incomes of big capital and the standard of living of the population, followed by social unrest and the collapse of the Russian Federation.

      ... and the “west” is faced with a dilemma - how to react to it: start a war and by what means or establish a full-scale political and economic blockade in order to stifle economically, which should inevitably hit the incomes of big business and the standard of living of the population, followed by social unrest and the collapse of the Russian Federation ...

      It's late. They have nothing to fight with and nobody. I mean the EU, and the US has clearly said that they will not fight the Russian Federation.
      And the blockade will not work now either. Gas will suddenly cost $ 4. A swift to us now in fig. Disabling Swift will bring them more problems than us. You can easily transfer gas trading to the St. Petersburg exchange for rubles. If you don't like it, walk around the market, ask the price ...
      Arrived.

      Moscow is talking on an equal footing with both Europe and the United States.
      Because for a thermonuclear Armageddon, the "political and economic potential" does not matter.

      There will be no complete blockade! They will be left without cheap raw materials, which will lead to higher prices for everything, and a sharp one. their economies will not stand it, their people will go on strike, and so on. and as a result, the population of the EU will finally understand why this happened. We will also feel bad, but the West, which is the owner of our economy, God forbid, 50%, at best, will also not receive their money, which they earn on us. Their elite will not allow this. In addition, the hungry population of our country will demand to nationalize the entire economy, which will be done ... Again, a loss for the West. As a result, the restoration of the USSR 2.0 in fact, well, why the heck do they need it? They will press gradually, not immediately. In addition, we will then take over the Russian parts of Ukraine and Moldova, that is, Transnistria, and we will not stand on ceremony with the rest of our neighbors ...

      establish a full-scale political economic blockade

      and freeze, stop production. In the end, this is what the Stars and Stripes are waiting for.

    As far as I remember, there was never a guarantee from Russia in respect of the Ukrainian borders against the background of their constant actions. Let me remind you even "you will lose your statehood", under certain conditions. Grushko said nothing new. On behalf of the Russian Federation, he warned the main ones: DON'T GET IN. KILL! So it seems they are writing on power lines?

      As far as I remember, Russia has never had a guarantee in respect of Ukrainian borders against the background of their constant actions.

      There was a so-called Big Treaty. From 1997 There, the recognition by both countries of the territorial integrity of each other within the existing borders of the RSFSR / Ukrainian SSR was stipulated. True, Ukraine has not been honored over the years to mark the border, which was repeatedly proposed to it. But in general, the border was marked.
      This agreement was denounced by Poroshenko, although he was warned about the negative (for Ukraine) consequences. April 1, 2019 the agreement was terminated.

    Well, it's time to recognize the LNR, DNR, because they will not fulfill anything. And our people are dying!

        Recognition of the LDNR is only under the terms of the refusal or implementation of the Minsk agreements.

        If it were only the LDNR, they would simply recognize independence, after 404 refused to carry out "Minsk" and that's it, it would not be worth starting such a movement.

        There's a lot of things about NATO. It is important not even one thing in isolation, but in the total mass and combination of factors. Climb like cockroaches in all the cracks, the hand clearly reaches for the sneaker.

    The US is trying to get the EU's consent to impose "super sanctions", even to attempts to destabilize Ukraine. Perhaps it makes sense to convey to Western societies (through the Western media) - "all US activities in Ukraine are aimed at creating conditions for the imposition of such sanctions against Russia that will hit not only the Russian, but also the European economies. The US goal is to destroy the economic ties of the EU - Russia and weaken both competitors." Western governments see this as it is, but societies do not see it.
    Only our diplomats or high-level politicians can send such a narrative. This should be a loud statement that will be quoted by the Western media. Which will, of course, spark accusations that Russia is trying to drive a wedge between the US and its allies. But it seems that the message is more important and weighty than reciprocal accusations.
    Perhaps the European media will see in quoting such a statement from a Russian person a way to help their diplomats and politicians in negotiations with the United States. You can try it out at the middle level and see how the European media picks it up.

      The US is trying to get the EU's consent to introduce "super-sanctions", even to attempts to destabilize Ukraine.

      It will become worse for Russia - they will slow down the sale of fuel and lubricants and food to Ukraine, and then another "holodomor" will begin there. And who will be to blame for this? USA again? - They say that in the 1930s the United States and Western Europe refused to sell equipment to the USSR for gold, and demanded only grain in payment. After that, famine began in Ukraine, which reported that it had collected 10 times more grain than it actually was. Then they took half of it from her, reasonably believing that half would be enough for the people in abundance.
      Then such a feint, later, was already with the "Cotton business" in Uzbekistan.

        In 404, it is planned until the spring of HOLODOMOR to buy coal in the LDNR, their guidliness does not allow them, just like gas under direct contracts with Gazprom. And its reverse gas is, as it were, small and more expensive than in the EU on the spot.

        Therefore, everything with energy will be intermittent, and even the price tag will be horse, not everyone will be able to pay for it.

        Blocking the sale of food, electricity, gas, if they don’t steal it wrong, this is the creation of a humanitarian catastrophe, and then we ourselves will send trucks with humanitarian aid.

        If the gas is stolen, then it will have to be shut off, because. it will not be our fault for the overlap and all the consequences.

        If hostilities begin, it is understandable that force majeure will most likely be blocked.

        It is difficult for fuel and lubricants, on the one hand, fuel for military equipment, but also for sowing, buses, transport. WE will buy a diesel engine for the army in Poland at a high price, but the population will easily be left without fuel.
        The APU will be provided with diesel fuel in any way, regardless of our supplies.

        You need to be careful with where to cover what. It may turn out that today it was blocked, tomorrow there will be a humanitarian catastrophe, and the day after tomorrow we need to organize help.

          Everything goes to the fact that help will have to be organized in any way
