MOSCOW, May 14. /TASS/. Russia does not care if G7 states will recognize the changes of the Ukrainian border, Russian Security Council Deputy Head Dmitry Medvedev said Saturday, adding that the only thing that matters is the opinion of the people living on these territories.

"Let’s put it mildly: out country doesn’t care about G7’s non-recognition of the new borders [of Ukraine]; what matters is the true will of the people living there. Do not forget the Kosovo precedent, our Western friends," Medvedev said in his Telegram channel.

The G7 decisions are an intervention in China’s internal affairs and a continuation of the covert war against Russia, Medvedev said.

"G7 states urge China not to help Russia in circumvention of sanctions, not to justify its actions and not to provide Russian with military aid. This is a continuation of a direct intervention in China’s internal affairs and a hint that they can punish China, should something happen," the official said.
