🎙️Ambassador Andrei Kelin's interview to Enda Brady for TRT World, 3 June, 2024
Main topics:
▪Advances of the Russian army in the Kharkov Region
▪Prospects of the settlement in Ukraine
▪Cooperation between Russia and China
▪Concerns of the Baltic countries about Russia going forward
▪Elections in the UK and the US
Excerpts from the interview:
▪︎We did serious advances, not only in the region from north in direction of Kharkov, but mostly from east to west in the Donbass Region. The whole front line is moving from east to west, and this is just the beginning of the summer campaign.
▪︎We do not see any desire of Ukraine, or Washington, or London, who are behind the Ukrainian government, to negotiate.
▪︎We are prepared for negotiations, but I didn't say that it will be the same lines. Once we have already been in this track, when we had stopped movements and Ukraine suddenly said: “No, we're going to fight”. It would be silly to repeat the same situation.
▪︎Russian economy has been reoriented to supply the army, and we have enough of production capabilities to do it ourselves.
▪︎Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia - each of them has a large number of the Russian population, high percentage, I would say, especially in Latvia. And I hope that they're not going to repeat the story of Ukraine, which mistreated Russian population, discriminated it, and finally decided to push it out of the country totally.
▪︎We have no single reason to interfere in the UK elections, because the foreign policy of the Conservative Party and the Labour Party, is alike - they have no difference. It depends now on faces. So you either vote for this face or you vote for that face.
