‘Annexation cancellation is impossible’: Russia outlines its position on possible peace talks with Ukraine

The Russian Permanent Representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, made a statement about the possibility of negotiations with Ukraine to cease hostilities along the front line.

He addressed this topic on the BBC program “HARDtalk”.

When asked by the journalist what Russia is prepared to negotiate, Nebenzya responded by pointing out a decree issued by Zelensky at the end of 2022, prohibiting him from personally negotiating with Putin. Nebenzya questioned how they could negotiate with someone who cannot participate in the process.

However, he eventually clarified what Moscow is willing to discuss in negotiations.

“Real negotiations, when they eventually start, will take into account the situation on the front line,” he said, adding that reversing annexation is impossible since the four captured regions “have already become part of the Russian Federation.” “The deed is done, and we are not ready to discuss it,” concluded the Russian representative to the UN.

Recall that yesterday Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that peaceful negotiations are possible on the condition of “acknowledging the new reality.”
