Deal with Ukraine will be on Russia's terms, not America's

Senator Konstantin Kosachev, Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Federation Council of Russia, commented on the ceasefire proposal recently approved by US-Ukrainian officials in Saudi Arabia.

Writing on Telegram, the Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Russian Federation Council said that the country's forces are advancing in Ukraine, so the situation will be different on the Russian side, Reuters reported today, March 12.

“Any agreement, with all the aspects of the need for compromise, must be on our terms, not on the Americans’. And it is not an exaggeration to say that the real agreements are still being written on the front lines,” Kosachev said.
