“Journalists are wondering if it’s generally acceptable and right to make such offers through video. In fact, why not? The policy is changing. Everyone has their own chips. Donald Trump, for example, is tweeting, ”he wrote on Facebook.
As the minister pointed out, he does not know, “to what extent this video is intended for the Kremlin, and which for the internal user”
“Unfortunately, Putin will not take emotion. He is not on it. He understands only force and concrete, concerted actions, ”added Klimkin.
He called "three things" that, according to him, will help confront Russia.
“In order to systematically counteract Russia, we need three things - a clear strategy, consistency of actions and support from international partners. And the rest - why not video. In fact, I think that behind this format is the future, ”he added.
In December 2018, Klimkin called the “best sanction” against Russia a possible halt to the implementation of the Nord Stream 2 project.
On July 8, Zelensky called on Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss the situation in connection with the Crimea and the Donbas with the participation of world leaders in Minsk.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, commenting on the idea, noted that when it comes to serious proposals, they are made first through diplomatic channels, and not publicly via Facebook.
