OREANDA-NEWS. The leadership of Ukraine must accept almost all the proposals that Russia will voice during the negotiations. This was stated in an interview with Lenta.ru by Sergei Tsekov, a member of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs.

“In fact, they are in a situation where the issue is being resolved this way: either they won’t talk to them at all if they don’t negotiate, but do it without them, or they will negotiate and agree to almost all the proposals that Russia will make,” Tsekov said.

In his opinion, Kyiv is counting on the fact that the sanctions imposed on Russia will put pressure on it. However, the country will withstand them, the senator is convinced. At the same time, Tsekov noted that in Ukraine they understand that the military operation will soon be completed.

“They already have examples of how successfully we work with those regions, cities of Ukraine that are under our control - they see that the administration is meeting the halfway, that order and provision are maintained, that is, all this can grow like a snowball, bad for them,” the parliamentarian concluded.
