President Vladimir Putin gave an interview to the Egyptian newspaper "Al-Ahram" – First Channel

The theme of the Ukrainian crisis has become one of the most important in an interview with Vladimir Putin, the Egyptian newspaper “Al-Ahram”, which he gave on the eve of his visit to the Arab Republic. Asked about the way out of this situation, the President said – it is necessary that the authorities in Kiev heard his people and find a common language with all political forces and regions of the country.

We must do everything possible to parties to the conflict to the negotiating table. In this regard, Moscow supports the establishment of stable direct contacts with Kiev Donetsk and Lugansk, for the work of the contact group. Continuation of punitive action will only increase the scale of the disaster.

“The most important condition for stabilization of the situation is an immediate ceasefire, the so-called anti-terrorism, and in fact – a punitive operation in south-eastern Ukraine. Attempts to exert economic pressure Kiev Donbass, block its vital functions only complicate the situation. It’s a dead end road, fraught with a great disaster, “Putin said.
