Countries offering mediation with the Russian Federation: stop this game and support Ukraine – Ukrainian Foreign Minister

EUROPEAN PRAVDA — TUESDAY, 27 SEPTEMBER 2022, 20:20

Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba called on all countries that offered their services through the mediation of Kyiv and Moscow to "stop this game" and start supporting Ukraine.

As reported in European Pravda, citing Interfax-Ukraine, Kuleba said this on Tuesday at a press conference with his French counterpart, Catherine Colonna.

"Russia does not want any negotiations; stop playing this game; do what is needed most now: support Ukraine in this battle and do not avoid this support, hiding behind the mask of a negotiator. Unfortunately, the time for negotiations has not come solely because of the position of the Russian Federation," he stressed.

The head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry added that Moscow's decisions consistently demonstrate the lack of desire for peace and a diplomatic solution to the conflict.

"Here I also want to take this opportunity to recall the words of President Macron in his address to the UN General Assembly regarding the so-called neutral countries that think they can sit it out. No, unfortunately, you will not be able to sit it out; you need to take a position – the position of justice, the position of international law and the position of protecting security and peace around the world," Kuleba added.

Reminder: French President Emmanuel Macron said at the session of the UN General Assembly that the countries that refuse to side with Ukraine in the war against Russia are secretly "complicit" with the new Russian imperialism.

As you know, on Tuesday, French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna arrived in Kyiv, and at a press conference she announced sending more than a tonne of humanitarian aid to Ukraine.
