Moscow: Negotiations about Ukraine have been going on for a long time, but the West pretended to participate

According to Isna, Maria Zakharova, the spokesperson of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in an interview with the Novosti News agency, said about the American media reports about the possibility of negotiations between Russia, Ukraine and the United States in early 2025: Negotiations between Russia, Ukraine and Western countries have been ongoing for a long time. It has been, but those who participated in it from the West only pretended to participate in it.

Washington and Kiev expect peace talks with Moscow to begin in the first half of 2025, CNN reported Thursday, citing White House sources.

Zakharova noted: Was it possible to have negotiations? Negotiations were underway, templates were created. Only those from the West pretended to participate. But in fact, their task was to inflame the conflict on the European continent.

He also told Novosti about the statements of Donald Trump, the president-elect of the United States, regarding the transformation of Greenland and Canada into territories of the United States, that these words of Trump can be commented upon after he takes office.

Donald Trump, who will hold his inauguration on January 20, will officially assume power in the White House.

The president-elect of the United States has recently talked several times about buying the autonomous region of Greenland from Denmark. He told reporters in early January that he could not guarantee that he would not use military force to seize Greenland.

Sabrina Singh, the Pentagon’s deputy spokeswoman, then said that there are currently no military plans to take control of Greenland by force.

The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia said: “When he takes power, we can comment on it as the official position of the government.” At this point, he’s just getting ready for it.

Earlier, Andrey Kartapolov, a senior member of the Russian Parliament, in response to Donald Trump’s statement that Greenland was annexed to the United States, said that this Arctic island could be a springboard for a future war, and warned that the United States could use Greenland to attack Russia. slow
