Amid the unprecedentedly increased pressure campaign against Russia by the United States and the West, President Putin exchanged the views with the French President and the German Chancellor through the telephone conversations on the issue of coordinating the Ukrainian situation.
President Putin affirmed the principled stand that Russia’s mission of military operation will be accomplished without fail under any circumstances, saying that the coordination of Ukrainian situation will be likely only when the status of Ukraine is confirmed as a neutral and non-nuclear state by means of demilitarization and denazification and when the Russia’s demands for the recognition of its sovereignty over the Crimea and the independence of Donetsk and Luhansk are accepted.
