The West is discussing the need to freeze the Ukrainian conflict due to the fact that Russia has the upper hand on the battlefield, Naryshkin said.
"Russia categorically rejects any freezing of the conflict over the Korean or any other option. We need a lasting and long-term peace for many, many years to come. Moreover, this peace must be ensured primarily for us, Russia, the citizens of the Russian Federation. But this peace must be ensured for the entire European continent. And the condition for ensuring peace is the elimination of those causes that caused the so-called Ukrainian conflict itself," Naryshkin said at a meeting of heads of security agencies and intelligence services of the CIS countries in Moscow.
