“As Russian President Vladimir Putin has said many times, no cessation of actions is possible without removing the root causes of this crisis,” he emphasized.
According to the Deputy Minister, currently Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is said to have “completely lost touch with reality” and is “trying to escalate the conflict.”
M. Galuzin spoke about alleged terrorist strikes on Russian energy infrastructure, including the Caspian Pipeline Consortium facilities, “operating primarily in the interests of Kazakhstan’s economy.”
“We hope that the international community, including the United States and European countries that have influence over the Kyiv regime, whose oil and gas companies are shareholders in the Caspian Pipeline Consortium, will respond adequately to this,” he stated.
At the same time, the Deputy Minister spoke about US aid to Ukraine and called their actions “contradictory.”

“The ongoing US arms supplies to the Kyiv regime, intelligence data provision, and other assistance, which are incompatible with the goal of ensuring peace, speak for themselves,” emphasized M. Galuzin.
In the interview, he noted that Moscow is allegedly ready to achieve its goals “taking into account the Anchorage agreements” and is confident that “it is possible to resolve the situation in Ukraine by diplomatic means if there is the appropriate political will.”
Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry’s special envoy Rodion Miroshnik stated that Russia should be prepared for a prolonged continuation of military actions in Ukraine, as the war will not end in the near future.
In turn, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov also stated in early July that Moscow intends to fight until the goals outlined by V. Putin in June 2024 are achieved. At that time, the Kremlin host demanded that Ukraine hand over Donbas, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson regions, recognize them and Crimea as Russian territory, abandon NATO membership, and also carry out “demilitarization” and “denazification.”
