Russia to Set Tougher Conditions in Case of Resumption of Talks with Kiev: Lawmaker – Al-Manar TV Lebanon

Russia will put forward tougher conditions in terms of both substance and time if talks with Ukraine are resumed, Leonid Slutsky, leader of Russia’s Liberal Democratic Party (LDPR) and a member of the Russian delegation to the talks with Ukraine, said on Tuesday.

“Today the conditions from our side will be tougher both on demilitarization and denazification, tougher in essence and in time of their execution. I emphasize that this is if the negotiation process is resumed,” Slutsky said at a press conference.

“So far, Kiev officials have not shown any willingness to resume talks,” he added.
