“The weapons that NATO and the United States are supplying to Kyiv are killing civilians, Russians and Ukrainians, and leading to a prolongation of the conflict.
That's the only way to deal with it.
This is not a solution to the problem, this is an aggravation of the problem, this is the desire to fight to the last Ukrainian,” he said.
He also believes that only "love for one's country", respect for one's people and the desire to achieve peace can force the Kyiv authorities to sit down at the negotiating table.
“As long as they are guided not by their own national interests, but by the interests of those countries and those regimes that use Ukraine and Ukrainians to weaken Russia, to wage war with Russia... until then, unfortunately, the conflict can continue,” Medina said.
He added that Russia has always said and will continue to say that it is interested in peace.
Medinsky recalled that the peace talks were interrupted on the Ukrainian initiative.
Earlier, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said that NATO would use all available resources to prevent Russia from successfully completing a special operation in Ukraine.
