"I think there are just several elements. One of that is security guarantees to Ukraine. And Russia said, 'Yes, Russia is open to security guarantees to Ukraine.' There is definitely a territory issue where there is Russian population, Russian population that was attacked by Ukrainian forces even before the conflict has started. And then there is a whole issue of neutrality of Ukraine, which is important for security of Russia," Dmitriev said.
He added that "by understanding how they can be resolved in a diplomatic manner," the solution can be found "pretty shortly."
