The Italian initiative to regulate the conflict in Ukraine was probably not prepared by diplomats, but by political scientists, “who have read provincial newspapers and operate only with Ukrainian fakes,” Dmitry Medvedev wrote in Telegram.
Medvedev criticized the “four -stage” plan proposed by Rome, which also implies the “neutral status of Ukraine and [its] unhindered entry into the EU”, “Autonomy of Donbass while maintaining it within Ukraine” and “complete autonomy of Crimea in Ukraine”.
According to him, the last point is “this is a direct rudeness addressed to Russia, the threat of its territorial integrity and an occasion to start a full -fledged war.” “There is no and will never be a political force in Russia that would even agree to discuss the fate of Crimea. It would be simply a national betrayal,” he emphasized.
He believes that the Italian proposal “does not make sense to analyze,” since his only goal “to help Kyiv preserve at least some face.” “If we offer peaceful initiatives, then those that are based on a sober calculation and reflect the current state of affairs. And such a document has long been transferred to Russia for discussion. If peaceful proposals are created strictly in the interests of NATO and Western world order, then such suits just need to be ignored Simply put, send their authors in a certain direction. And work further to the steady achievement of the goals of a special military operation, ”Medvedev summed up.
According to the Italian newspaper Repubblica, the plan was developed at the Italian Foreign Ministry and was transferred to the UN Secretary General Antoniu Guterrish through the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Italy Luigi di Mayo.
