“The Ukrainian side must take into account the realities that have developed during this period,” he added in response to a question about the proposed withdrawal of Russian troops. “And these realities show that new subjects have appeared in Russian Federation. They appeared as a result of referendums that took place in these areas. Without taking into account these oi news of realityno kind of progress is possible,” he noted.
