The Foreign Ministry said that Kyiv missed a chance for Ukraine "within its own borders"

Moscow hopes that Kyiv will realize the inevitability of "a peaceful solution to the problems of demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine", its transformation into a neutral state, and the sooner this happens,the sooner the military operation will be completed Maria Zakharova

Ukraine missed its chance for a sovereign state, which was given to it in 2014, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said at a briefing.

She expressed the hope that Kyiv will realize the inevitability of "a peaceful solution to the problems of demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine", turning it into a neutral state "for the benefit of the population of the Independent, all of Europe." “The sooner the representatives of the Kyiv regime and their curators understand this, the sooner the special military operation will be completed,” Zakharova said.

The representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs called on "this group of comrades," as she called the administration of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, "to think about the fate of the country, people, the life of the population, draw conclusions, take appropriate decisions." “They have already missed the main chance for the existence of Ukraine within their own borders, a sovereign Ukraine, an independent Ukraine,” she said.

According to her, both the administration of ex-president Petro Poroshenko and Zelensky's administration were persuaded to use the opportunity provided "to make their state prosperous." “All platforms were used to explain that there is simply no other option for the state of Ukraine than taking appropriate steps on the MINSK Action Plan. Otherwise, the country will fall apart, which we are now seeing before the eyes of the whole world, ”Zakharova said.
