Zakharova Outlines Conditions for De-escalation of Tensions Around Ukraine

The de-escalation of the situation around Ukraine is possible if the United States and NATO cease joint exercises with the country's air force and withdraw previously supplied munitions to Kyiv. This was stated by Maria Zakharova, the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, during a press briefing.

“We are convinced that it is very easy to achieve de-escalation of the situation around Ukraine, which our Western partners talk and write about so much. To do this, it is necessary to halt the supply of munitions to Ukraine, recall Western military advisors and instructors from its territory, stop joint exercises between Ukraine’s air force and NATO member countries, as well as withdraw previously supplied foreign munitions from Ukrainian territory,” Zakharova said during the briefing.
