The pro-Nazi government in Ukraine could receive nuclear weapons in the near future against Russia — Vladimir Putin stated during a meeting about the measures of socio-economic support for the Russian subjects.

The Russian-Ukrainian negotiations are being held daily, online. The dialogue isn’t progressing as fast as Russia would like — the head of the Russian delegation, Vladimir Medinsky, stated. He added that clear goals were defined, the movement towards which takes place while taking into account the interests of Russia. According to these conditions, Ukraine must be a peaceful, independent, and neutral state, not included in any blocs. A country with which Russia can build good neighborly relations, and which won’t be used for anti-Russian aggression. A whole range of issues related to the size of the Ukrainian forces is being discussed. Ukraine offers an Austrian or Swedish version of a neutral demilitarized state, but at the same time — a state with its own army and navy.

«Ukraine shows their war crimes as war crimes of the Russian forces» — the Russian Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, stated. After his negotiations with his Turkish counterpart, Mevlut Cavusoglu, Sergey Lavrov spoke about how the Russian military and diplomats are gathering the evidence of Ukrainian war crimes. Sergey Lavrov added that during the contacts with the West, Russia points out the un-acceptability of ignoring the shelling of the civilians by the Ukrainian forces. He added that the West takes a «biased and indecent» position in relation to what is happening in Ukraine.
