Ambassador Andrei Kelin's interview with Channel 4 presenter Krishnan Guru-Murthy, 10 december

Key talking points: • [A peace plan on Ukraine] should include a comprehensive, long-term solution for everyone. Not just for Ukraine. Security guarantees should also be given to Russia and all European countries. The issue of NATO should be resolved once and for all. • The situation on the front line, the state of Ukraine's economy, the situation in Europe — where there is no spare money for Ukraine — have put Kiev in a condition where they have to think how to avoid becoming a failed state. • [The confiscation of frozen Russian assets] is absolutely illegal. It is simply the theft of money, whether under domestic or international law. [...] Those who decide to do this will face serious consequences. We also have British, Belgian and other assets in Russia. • The current European leaders do not think about the future. They want to win today and do something now, but they lack a strategic perspective. [...] They think about how to handle things at the moment. • We have no plans, intentions or reasons to go to war with Europe or NATO. That is absolutely clear. However, the situation here in Europe is that the leaders who are talking about war [...] simply do not listen to us.
