MOSCOW, December 2. /TASS/. Moscow will make neither "one-day half-measures" nor "agreements of undefined status" the subject of talks on the Ukraine issue, given the volatile domestic situation in the US, Russian Federation Council (upper house of parliament) Chairperson Valentina Matviyenko said.

"Given such an unstable and unreliable domestic situation in the US, which is expected to remain unchanged in the near future, we cannot and will not focus talks on some one-day half-measures or agreements of undefined status, or discuss anything like a short-term 'freezing' of the conflict and the like. This is certainly not the solution to resolve issues of long-term security in the region," the senate speaker said in an interview with the aif.ru media outlet.

She emphasized that the Russian president had outlined all the conditions, "and it’s only on this basis that genuine talks can be held." Moreover, in Matviyenko’s words, Russia should not focus on Washington, waiting to see how things unfold there. "We need to continue working independently to achieve our goals, which is what we are doing," she stated.

The Russian upper house chairperson pointed out that Russia was consistently and effectively working to overcome thousands of unjust sanctions, while accelerating development efforts, particularly aimed at achieving technological leadership, advancing progress in the special military operation zone, and enhancing national security, as proven by the demonstration of its new capabilities such as the Oreshnik hypersonic ballistic missile.
