[0:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Sg12TIhgNzsp/en/territorial-exchanges-and-talks-on-european-security?t=5) Was the exchange of these territories discussed during the negotiations and what territories would they be exchanged for? [0:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Sg12TIhgNzsp/en/territorial-exchanges-and-talks-on-european-security?t=9) The issue of possible territorial exchanges is periodically floated by various sides. [0:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Sg12TIhgNzsp/en/territorial-exchanges-and-talks-on-european-security?t=15) Let me remind you of the history. After Ukraine's incursion into Kursk Oblast, a decision was made, as our president has said more than once, to create a security zone along the border with the Russian Federation. [0:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Sg12TIhgNzsp/en/territorial-exchanges-and-talks-on-european-security?t=28) That zone is quite substantial now, it is expanding, and it will continue to expand. [0:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Sg12TIhgNzsp/en/territorial-exchanges-and-talks-on-european-security?t=35) I see no possibility whatsoever of exchanging these territories. [0:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Sg12TIhgNzsp/en/territorial-exchanges-and-talks-on-european-security?t=40) Because, once again, as our leader put it so aptly, wherever the foot of a Russian soldier has set foot, that is ours. [0:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Sg12TIhgNzsp/en/territorial-exchanges-and-talks-on-european-security?t=49) And as the whole history of Russia has shown, every time we showed a desire to make concessions, to make some compromises that disadvantage us, to make a show of peacefulness and pliability, well, every time we, to avoid some hardships, as we thought, [1:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Sg12TIhgNzsp/en/territorial-exchanges-and-talks-on-european-security?t=71) take steps toward our opponents, in the end, it turns out that we suffer even greater hardships. [1:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Sg12TIhgNzsp/en/territorial-exchanges-and-talks-on-european-security?t=81) Well, as they say, we get war and disgrace. [1:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Sg12TIhgNzsp/en/territorial-exchanges-and-talks-on-european-security?t=86) But whenever Russia showed resolve and confidence in its own strength, in the end, all hardships were overcome, and a time of lasting peace began, of tranquility and development, for us and for our neighbors alike. [1:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Sg12TIhgNzsp/en/territorial-exchanges-and-talks-on-european-security?t=104) So wherever the Russian flag is raised, it must not be lowered. [1:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Sg12TIhgNzsp/en/territorial-exchanges-and-talks-on-european-security?t=109) The task is different, and we spoke about it today. [1:53](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Sg12TIhgNzsp/en/territorial-exchanges-and-talks-on-european-security?t=113) The task is to create such a comprehensive security system in Europe, that will become a new, modern Yalta and Potsdam, imbued with the spirit of Helsinki of 1975, and that will meet the demands of today’s realities, and be fair. [2:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Sg12TIhgNzsp/en/territorial-exchanges-and-talks-on-european-security?t=132) If we manage to create such a security system, then we will ensure peace in Europe for decades, and perhaps even for centuries. [2:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Sg12TIhgNzsp/en/territorial-exchanges-and-talks-on-european-security?t=141) That is our main task. At the very start of our meeting, you said some very cautious and important words: that we would try to move closer to achieving peace. [2:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Sg12TIhgNzsp/en/territorial-exchanges-and-talks-on-european-security?t=154) Have we moved closer? [2:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Sg12TIhgNzsp/en/territorial-exchanges-and-talks-on-european-security?t=158) I think so. I think so. But right now, a great deal depends on all the parties involved. [2:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Sg12TIhgNzsp/en/territorial-exchanges-and-talks-on-european-security?t=166) A great deal depends on Ukraine, on the position of the United States, and on whether Europe comes to its senses. [2:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Sg12TIhgNzsp/en/territorial-exchanges-and-talks-on-european-security?t=177) In any case, all the goals we set will be achieved. [3:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Sg12TIhgNzsp/en/territorial-exchanges-and-talks-on-european-security?t=183) Thank you very much. Are you satisfied? I’ll be there only when we win and sign a peace agreement on our terms.
