Dmitry

The US envoy Steve Witkoff was in Moscow and there were negotiations in Istanbul, and before that there was the first telephone conversation between the two presidents. Therefore there are certain understandings, but there's also a large number of questions, both with the further normalisation of our bilateral relations and with the Ukrainian settlement.

All this will have to be discussed by the two presidents.

No, not for a second. My husband never would have forgiven me if I had done something like that.

A Ukrainian number called me. I picked up and he introduced himself as Dmitry.

He spoke with a Russian accent. He said, if you want your husband to come home sooner, I can help.

He said I must either set fire to a military facility, a car or a railway electrical box. The other option was to reveal the location of air defense systems nearby.

And then the threats began. He said they'd kill my husband. For days he kept calling, saying, your husband is being tortured and it's your fault.

Apparently we are talking about the desire and willingness of countries to move towards a peaceful settlement. There is indeed a common understanding here. In general, of course, there are still a lot of different aspects related to the settlement to be worked out.

The investigation is underway. Any aviation incident should be investigated by special aviation authorities. And until investigators make their conclusions, it would be incorrect to make any kind of hypothesis. So we cannot do it, and nobody should do it. We must await the end of this investigation.
