Deputy Altukhov said that the conference on Ukraine is decorative in nature
Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Economic Policy Sergei Altukhov spoke about the conference on Ukraine in Switzerland, held on June 15-16. In conversation with TASS he called it decorative.
“From the very beginning, it was clear that the conference convened by Ukraine was of a decorative nature; it is obvious that no negotiation process is possible without Russia,” he said.
Altukhov also added that only Russia wants a peaceful resolution of the conflict between Moscow and Kiev. According to the deputy, even the countries participating in the conference understand that the agreement between Russia and Ukraine should be based on the proposals of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Earlier, Swiss President Viola Amherd said that it was impossible to negotiate a peaceful resolution to the conflict without Russia. She noted that at the conference in Switzerland no mutual understanding would be reached between the participants.
On June 14, Vladimir Putin named two conditions, subject to which Russia will cease fire in the Northern Military District zone. He said that Ukraine needs to withdraw troops from the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions, as well as the Lugansk and Donetsk people’s republics. In addition, the Russian leader noted, Kyiv must officially notify of its refusal to join NATO.
