MOSCOW, August 29. /TASSA/. Future security guarantees for Ukraine should not be a condition for negotiations, but the result of a peaceful settlement, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said at a briefing.

According to the diplomat, Vladimir Zelensky continues to sabotage the negotiations on Ukraine and continue the conflict, while the words he chooses mirror those used by leaders of terrorist cells of the past.

TASS has compiled key statements by the official representative of the Foreign Ministry.

- Zelensky undermines the talks: "Zelensky continued to take steps leading to the sabotage of the peace negotiation process and escalation of the conflict. On August 21, he told foreign journalists about Kiev's refusal to legally recognize the territories irretrievably lost by the clique, repeating his delusional maxims about their occupation."

- Zelensky's statements look eerily similar to those of terrorist leaders of days past: ‘He announced some surprises for the Russians and expressed hope for the presence of Canadian forces in Ukraine. The maple supporter of military intervention backed this idea, continued this idea, and promised to allocate $500 million for drones under the American arms purchase program. This refers to the list of priority requirements for Ukraine. And you know what's amazing? It's amazing that the vocabulary, well, I'm not talking about facial expressions at all, but Zelensky's vocabulary completely repeats the vocabulary of the leaders of terrorist cells of the past."
