Quote: "At the previous round of talks, the Russian side directly stated that they would accept the security guarantees being offered to Ukraine by the United States…

As regards the issue of control over the demilitarised zone, that falls within the remit of the military sub-group. It is precisely there that the greatest progress has been made. They've reached conclusions on how monitoring will function once the war ends.

Regarding the issue of territories, we're seeking a compromise between two completely opposing positions. We haven't yet found it in full. I hope we will. We don't have much time for this. Ultimately, we'll have to state either that we have found a solution and are ending this war, or… we continue killing one another, which we are doing quite efficiently and professionally."

Details: Budanov said the current state of the Russian armed forces prevents them from launching an attack on Kyiv.

Meanwhile, he also warned that Ukraine should be prepared for a potential rise in terrorist attacks similar to the recent one in Lviv.
