True, speaking about all of Ukraine, Zheleznyak emphasized that it is needed not as part of the Russian Federation, but as a “friend and partner.”
“We need the issue of the future of Ukraine and Ukrainian regions to be resolved peacefully, in a civilized manner. We need, of course, all of Ukraine, but as a partner, as a comrade, a country that, together with us, defeated Nazism within itself. Therefore, there was no betrayal of Novorossiya - our task is not to get involved in the war, but to stop it,” Zheleznyak said.
