The issue of territories and security is presented as a strategic priority;

Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion in 2022, Russia has repeatedly declared its readiness for negotiations, while continuing hostilities.
Ukraine insists that any negotiations are possible only on condition:
restoration of territorial integrity;
security guarantees;
responsibility for war crimes.
Ukraine's international partners, including the EU and NATO, continue to provide military and financial support to Kyiv, while tightening sanctions against Russia.
Medvedev's statements once again demonstrate that the Kremlin is not abandoning its military goals, despite diplomatic signals and global pressure.
