Russia won’t stop war even if Ukraine gives up NATO hopes

Russia and Ukraine have held several rounds of talks since the offensive began, but they have made no progress and are unlikely to resume.

A top ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday that Moscow would not end its military operations in Ukraine, even though Kiev has formally abandoned its desire to join NATO.

“Abandoning its participation in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is now important, but it is already insufficient to establish peace,” Medvedev told LCI television, quoted by the Russian news agency.

He said that Russia will continue the operation until its goal is achieved. Putin says he wants to “repudiate” Ukraine. Kyiv and the West say the victory is a baseless pretext for war.

Former President Dmitry Medvedev, now the deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, said in a French television interview that Russia was ready to negotiate with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, subject to certain conditions.

Even before the February invasion, Moscow had made it clear that Ukraine’s membership in NATO was unacceptable.

Russia and Ukraine have held several rounds of talks since the offensive began, but they have made no progress and are unlikely to resume.

But that could change, he said, if the U.S. Launched weapons can hit long-range targets.

“That means when a missile like this flies 70 kilometers, that’s one thing,” he said. “But when it is 300-400 km, it is another, now it will directly threaten the territory of the Russian Federation.”

“It (talks) will depend on how things unfold. We were ready before we (Zelensky) met,” Medvedev said.

In his remarks, he also noted that American weapons already supplied to Ukraine – such as HIMARS multi-rocket launchers – did not yet pose a major threat.
