[0:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/jj0p51W0TvI0/en/territorial-exchanges-and-european-security-russia-s-position?t=5) Was the exchange of these territories discussed during the negotiations, and for which territories? [0:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/jj0p51W0TvI0/en/territorial-exchanges-and-european-security-russia-s-position?t=9) The topic of possible territorial exchanges is periodically floated by various sides. [0:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/jj0p51W0TvI0/en/territorial-exchanges-and-european-security-russia-s-position?t=15) Let me remind you of the history. After Ukraine's incursion into the Kursk region, 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/jj0p51W0TvI0/en/territorial-exchanges-and-european-security-russia-s-position?t=28) This zone is now quite substantial, and it is expanding, and it will keep expanding. [0:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/jj0p51W0TvI0/en/territorial-exchanges-and-european-security-russia-s-position?t=35) I see no possibility of exchanging these territories. [0:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/jj0p51W0TvI0/en/territorial-exchanges-and-european-security-russia-s-position?t=40) Because, again, as our leader put it so aptly, wherever the foot of our Russian soldier has set, that is ours. [0:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/jj0p51W0TvI0/en/territorial-exchanges-and-european-security-russia-s-position?t=49) And as, in fact, the whole history of Russia has shown, Every time we showed a willingness to make concessions, to make compromises that were unfavorable to us, to make a show of peacefulness and compliance, each time we did that, [1:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/jj0p51W0TvI0/en/territorial-exchanges-and-european-security-russia-s-position?t=68) when, to avoid some hardships, as we saw it, we took steps toward our opponents, in the end, what happened was that we faced even greater hardships. [1:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/jj0p51W0TvI0/en/territorial-exchanges-and-european-security-russia-s-position?t=81) Well, as they say, we got war, and disgrace. [1:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/jj0p51W0TvI0/en/territorial-exchanges-and-european-security-russia-s-position?t=86) But whenever Russia showed steadfastness 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. [1:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/jj0p51W0TvI0/en/territorial-exchanges-and-european-security-russia-s-position?t=104) So wherever the Russian flag has been raised, it must not be lowered. [1:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/jj0p51W0TvI0/en/territorial-exchanges-and-european-security-russia-s-position?t=109) The task is something else, and we spoke about it today. [1:53](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/jj0p51W0TvI0/en/territorial-exchanges-and-european-security-russia-s-position?t=113) The task is to create a comprehensive security system in Europe, that will become a new, modern-day Yalta and Potsdam, imbued with the spirit of Helsinki '75, and that will meet the new realities of today, that will be fair. [2:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/jj0p51W0TvI0/en/territorial-exchanges-and-european-security-russia-s-position?t=132) If we manage to create such a security system, then we will ensure peace in Europe for decades, perhaps even centuries. [2:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/jj0p51W0TvI0/en/territorial-exchanges-and-european-security-russia-s-position?t=141) That is our main task. At the very beginning 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/jj0p51W0TvI0/en/territorial-exchanges-and-european-security-russia-s-position?t=154) Have we moved closer? [2:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/jj0p51W0TvI0/en/territorial-exchanges-and-european-security-russia-s-position?t=158) I think so. I think so. But right now, a great deal depends on all the parties involved in the process. [2:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/jj0p51W0TvI0/en/territorial-exchanges-and-european-security-russia-s-position?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/jj0p51W0TvI0/en/territorial-exchanges-and-european-security-russia-s-position?t=177) In any case, all the goals we set will be achieved. [3:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/jj0p51W0TvI0/en/territorial-exchanges-and-european-security-russia-s-position?t=183) Thank you so much. Are you satisfied? I’ll only be there when we win and sign a peace agreement on our terms.
