The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova commented on the words of the adviser to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Mikhail Podolyak that in the classical sense there will be no negotiations, but there will be “ultimate demands on the Russian Federation for at the highest level, and Russia will accept them.”

“Russia has never submitted to ultimatums or blackmail,” Zakharova wrote in her Telegram channel, adding that the Ukrainian leadership is trying to “zombify its population” in this way in order to then drag them into the trenches.

The diplomat added that Russia “threw away” everyone who “came with a sword or a grenade.”

According to Zakharova, anyone who tried to destroy the country or her people Russia “prescribed a prescription for dehumanization.”

She also expressed words of support for the residents of Belgorod after the Ukrainian military struck the city center on Saturday afternoon, which killed 10 people and injured more than 40.

“Belgorod – the whole country is with you!”, she wrote.
