Ambassador Kelin's interview with IMI Chief International Anchor Hadley Gamble

Key talking points: • We stand for diplomatic solution [to the Ukraine crisis]. But we do not want a puppet state created by Western governments on our border — one that would be entirely adversarial to us, based on an ideology of one people's supremacy over another, where the Russian language is discriminated against and where the Russian Orthodox Church has been ousted from the country. • For quite a prolonged period of time European countries have not worked for peace. The UK, France and Germany stand for the continuation of fighting [...] because their defence industry continues to work. This is very beneficial for their feeble economies. • [Future European security] cannot be based on NATO because it is a group of countries that disregard the security of others. Security should be equal and indivisible [...] providing favorable conditions for all European countries, including Russia. If Europeans are still afraid of something, we are prepared [to address their concerns] in agreements and guarantees, [confirming that] we have no plans, intentions or reasons to attack European nations. • The Zelensky government is illegal due to a breach of constitutional law. They should have had presidential elections [in Ukraine] a year ago. • We are preparing a very serious legal and financial response [to the potential confiscation of frozen Russian funds]. If this happens, many Europeans could lose their own money invested in Russia. Europe would also lose its [international] credibility as a [reliable] partner.
