🖥️ In an interview with Sky News, Russian Ambassador to the UK Andrei Kelin spoke about the successes of the Russian army on the battlefield and the root causes of the conflict in Ukraine.

"The fighting on the ground continues, in recent months we have taken 600 square kilometers of liberated territory, from which we continue our offensive across the entire territory. Along the border with Ukraine there are Ukrainian troops, I don't know, I'm not talking about Ukraine, I'm talking about Ukrainian troops. They continue to retreat, they are losing ground more and more, we are going on the offensive. So what needs to be done is to agree on a lasting, serious, end to the conflict, on peace. I don't mean a short-term ceasefire, I mean not for 30 or 60 days. <...> We need to eliminate the root causes of this conflict, there are two of them, and we discussed this before. We are talking about restoring, of course, the rights of Russians and Russian-speaking people on the territory of Ukraine. The abolition of the autumn laws on this matter. Ukraine as a neutral state, not directly related to nuclear weapons. These are the root causes of the conflict."
