Russia's Foreign Minister Sergeĭ Viklov accepts Russia's demands, such as not expanding NATO = North Atlantic Treaty Organization, saying that "national interests are trampled and cannot be ignored" over the ongoing tensions in Ukraine. I strongly urged that it should be done.
As tensions continue over the situation in Ukraine, Russian Foreign Minister Sergeĭ Viklov said in an interview with local media on the 28th, "If it depends on Russia, there will be no war, but it does not rule out that some people want to induce military action. However, the Ukrainian government is out of control of the army, "he said, saying that Russia would not launch an invasion first, while the Ukrainian side was increasing tensions.
He criticized the response of Europe and the United States, which has increased the number of NATO member countries, such as stating that "national interests are trampled and cannot be ignored," and that Russia will not expand NATO any further. I urged the United States to accept the request again.
On the other hand, Foreign Minister Viklov said of the US response to the request, "There are some rational points. There are also requests that have been ignored so far, such as measures to build confidence and to ease tensions without conducting military exercises near the border. It is included, "he said, showing his willingness to continue discussions.
He also warned Russia of large-scale economic sanctions, saying, "If we impose sanctions that completely separate us from the financial and economic systems of the West, the relationship will be completely cut off. It won't benefit anyone. "
