world interested in resolving the ukrainian issue, and of course, the west will lift all anti-russian sanctions. if these conditions are met, we are ready to talk about this, about the creation of a pan-european, as well as a common euro-asian security system. this is such an important initiative that says that we are on the right path, because our cause is right, the enemy will be defeated, and victory will be ours. we give the floor to the news and see you again at 17:00, don't miss it, this is the news on the first, hello, in the studio valeria korableva. russia makes a new peace proposal for ukraine. the goal is not to freeze the conflict, but to bring it to an end. vladimir putin spoke about the conditions today.

precisely from the entire territory of these regions, within their administrative borders that existed at the time of their entry into ukraine, as soon as kiev declares that they are ready for such a decision, they will begin a real withdrawal of troops from these regions, and will also officially notify of the refusal plans to join nato, on our part, immediately, literally at the same minute there will be an order to cease fire to begin negotiations, i repeat, we... will do this immediately, of course, at the same time we guarantee the unhindered and safe withdrawal of ukrainian units and formations, note to those who constantly talk about the need for a strategic defeat of russia and at the same time accuses of unwillingness to reach an agreement, according to the president, it is already obvious to everyone that attempts to defeat russia on the battlefield are even and it’s time to come out of the looking glass and listen to the proposal while there is opportunity, let me emphasize the main thing, the essence of our proposal.

kherson and zaporozhye regions, as subjects of the russian federation. in the future, according to the head of state, the agreements could become the basis for dialogue on the creation of a global security system, but only real dialogue, and not its imitation. after all, there are plenty of examples of this western approach. from the buried minsk agreements, which, as european leaders admitted, were needed only to give kiev time to arm itself, to the project thrown into the trash peace agreement in istanbul in the spring of twenty- two. each time with the participation of international

mediators. vladimir putin spoke about one such episode for the first time. after the russian army occupied part of the kherson and zaporozhye regions, its mediation. many western politicians proposed a peaceful end to the conflict, one of them was on a working visit to moscow on march 5, 22 of the second year, on march 5, and we accepted his mediation efforts, especially since during the conversation he referred to the fact that he had secured support from the leaders of germany and france, as well as senior us officials. during the conversation, our foreign guest inquired. a curious episode, he said: “if you are helping donbass, then why are russian troops in the south of ukraine, including the cherson and zaporozhye regions.” the answer was that, on our part, this was the decision of the russian

general staff to plan the operation, and today i will add that the plan was to bypass part of the fortified areas that the ukrainian authorities had built over 8 years on donbass, and before. just for the liberation of mariupol, then a clarification followed from a foreign colleague, well, a professional person needs to know whether our troops, the russian ones, will remain in the kherson and zaporozhye regions, and what will happen to these regions after achieving the goals of the northern military district, to this he replied that in general, not i exclude the preservation of ukrainian sovereignty over these territories, however, on the condition that russia has a strong one.

after discussion with citizens, the public of our country and, above all, with residents kherson and zaporozhye regions, ultimately we did this, asked the people themselves for their opinion and held referendums, acted as the people decided, including in the kherson and zaporozhye regions, in the donetsk and lugansk people's republics. at that time, in march of twenty-two, the negotiating partner reported that in...

the russian position, well, in a rather harsh form, i must say, but these are already details. the mediator at that time was israeli prime minister bennett. what happened next is known to everyone, another attempt at negotiations failed, and the kherson and zaporozhye regions and the donbass republics chose their own path. residents of the kherson region and zaporozhye expressed their position during the referendums. the kherson and zaporozhye regions, as well as the donetsk and lugansk people's republics, became part of the russian federation. and there can be no talk of violating our state unity, the will of the people to be with russia is unshakable, the issue is closed forever and is no longer discussed. this is to talk about what intractability leads to. there is another, much earlier example, concerning events on

maidan, exactly february 2014, the very height of the coup in kiev. on the twenty-first, at the initiative of the american side , a conversation between vladimir putin and barack obama took place. that was the point. as follows: the american leader unequivocally supported the kiev agreement with the opposition authorities, moreover, he called it a real breakthrough, a chance for the ukrainian people so that the violence that broke out did not cross all conceivable boundaries. and further, during the conversations, we jointly actually developed the following formula: russia will try to convince the then acting president of ukraine to behave as best as possible here.

normal developing ukraine, we kept our word completely, the then president of ukraine yanukovych, who in fact did not plan to use the army. nevertheless , he did not do this and, moreover, even additional police units from kiev to uvel. what about our western colleagues? on the night of february 22, then throughout the following day, when president yanukovych left for kharkov, where a congress of deputies of the south-eastern regions of ukraine and crimea, radicals, despite all the agreements and guarantees from the west, both europe and, as i just said, the united states.

it seems that they were the authors of the development of events in precisely this vein. a further chain of events led ukraine to where it is now, implementing the western concept of war to the last ukrainian. under the leadership of a person whose term of office has expired, and the constitution of ukraine clearly speaks about this. the constitution of ukraine does not provide for the possibility of canceling or postponing presidential elections. continuation of his powers due to martial law.

exclusively only the verkhovna rada, thereby indicating the status of the parliament of ukraine as a permanent body under martial law. in other words, it is the verkhovna rada that is today a legitimate body, in contrast to the executive branch. well, ukraine is not a presidential republic, but a parliamentary-presidential one. that's the point. moreover, the chairman of the verkhovna rada, acting president, by virtue of the articles.

will come up later, now american and european partners are ready to turn a blind eye to formalities for the sake of the next summit in switzerland and the expected new meaningless ultimatum to our country. as you know, they have begun to actively promote the initiative to hold a so-called high-level international conference on peace in ukraine in switzerland, and they plan to hold it immediately after the group of seven summit. that is, a group of those who, through their own policies, ignited the conflict in ukraine. what the organizers of the meeting in switzerland are proposing is just another ploy to

to distract everyone's attention, to reverse the cause of the consequences of the ukrainian crisis, to set the discussion on the wrong track, to some extent to indicate the appearance of legitimacy of the current executive power in ukraine once again, because it is natural that there are no truly fundamental issues that underlie the current international security crisis , and stability, the real roots of the ukrainian conflict in switzerland, of course, are not going to be discussed in principle, despite all attempts to give more or less decent appearance of the conference agenda. we can already expect that everything will come down to general conversations of a demagogic nature and a new set of accusations against russia. the article is easy to read, by any means necessary to bring in as many states as possible, based on the results, present it as if... western recipes and rules are shared by the entire international community, which

means our country must unconditionally accept them, we are to meet in switzerland, as you know , naturally, they weren’t invited, because in essence, not negotiations, but the desire of a group of countries to continue to push their line, to resolve issues that directly affect our interests and security at their own discretion, i want to emphasize in this regard, the participation of russia without an honest and responsible dialogue with us, to reach a peaceful solution to for ukraine as a whole , global european security is impossible. it would seem already. it’s high time to admit the obvious, but the west is still raising the stakes, and meanwhile the world is getting closer to the dangerous line. kiril brainin marina eliseeva and alexander anonichev, channel one. vladimir putin’s proposals will be conveyed to the authorities of a number of countries; it is better for moscow to listen, the foreign minister said.
