" . . . the realities that have developed on earth" means
" . . . the realities that have developed on the ground"
Google translates the TASS phrase "с учетом сложившихся реалий." as "taking into account the current realities." I used Google to translate 'earth' into Russian: "земля". I then searched the TASS article for that word and it wasn't there. I'll put the full Google translation of this article below because it seems to read more accurately.
Russia considers all of Ukraine its own, but does not reject its right to independence, offering Kyiv to stop the conflict taking into account the current realities. This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin at the plenary session of the SPIEF.
The head of state also answered questions about the possibility of a mutually acceptable peaceful solution to the conflict in the Middle East, the new world order and the outdated approaches of the West, which ignores the interests of the Russian Federation.
TASS has collected the main theses of the Russian President.
The situation in Ukraine
Russia is not seeking capitulation from Ukraine: "We insist on recognition of the realities that have developed on the ground." Thus, the Russian army "is advancing in all directions along the entire line of combat contact every day," creating a security zone, for which the enemy is forced to divert its forces, "which are already in short supply in the key areas of the armed struggle."
In the Kursk region, the Ukrainian side lost 76 thousand people, "this is a catastrophe for them." The goal of the attack on the Kursk region was "political in nature - to show that they can get something else from their sponsors from abroad." The depth of the security zone in the Sumy region is from 10 to 12 km. "You know, we have <...> not a proverb, not a parable, but an old rule - where the foot of a Russian soldier steps, that is ours." The situation in Ukraine is a tragedy that is happening due to the fault of the West: "This is the result of the work of those who do not want to put up with the global changes happening in the world." The previous US administration openly stated that it spent billions of dollars on the "coup [in Ukraine]." The West tried to act from a position of strength in the situation around Ukraine. Russia, on the other hand, at every stage offered Kyiv to stop the fighting and negotiate. Russians and Ukrainians are one people: "In this sense, all of Ukraine is ours." At the same time, Moscow has never compromised Ukraine's right to build an independent and neutral state: "The grounds on which Ukraine became independent and sovereign were set out in the 1991 Declaration of Independence of Ukraine, where it is clearly written in black and white that Ukraine is a non-aligned, non-nuclear, neutral state."
On threats of using a "dirty bomb"
There is no confirmation of Kyiv's intentions to use a "dirty bomb", but such plans may appear "in a sick imagination."
Russia's nuclear doctrine states that "we always respond to all threats that are created for us in kind": "Therefore, our response will be very harsh and, most likely, catastrophic for both the neo-Nazi regime and, unfortunately, for Ukraine itself. I hope that it will never come to that."
Possibilities for resolving the conflict in the Middle East
I would like for the threats from Israel against the spiritual leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, to "remain at the level of rhetoric."
The Russian Federation does not seek mediation in the Middle East, but offers ideas: "And if they seem attractive to both countries, we will be only too happy about this."
In the settlement of the conflict between Israel and Iran, "acceptable solutions can be found, in my opinion, for both countries": "Both the countries of the global South, and especially the countries of the region, can certainly have a positive impact on this process, on the search for this solution. In my opinion, such a solution exists."
In this matter, "it is better not to run ahead, so as not to harm" the settlement process, but "there are points of possible contact."
Russia continues to work at the Bushehr nuclear power plant in Iran and has received assurances about the safety of its employees from the leaders of Israel and the United States, Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump: "Despite all the complexity of the situation, despite a certain danger, we continue this work. We are not evacuating our personnel from there." The New World Order as a "Sunrise"
The new world order is emerging "naturally, it's like a sunrise": "There's no getting away from it!" Russia and China are not forming a new world order, "we are only formalizing it" and, perhaps, "clearing the way for this process so that it is more balanced and meets the interests of the overwhelming majority of countries."
Russia's decision to develop relations with the global South was made long ago, "keeping in mind the trends of world development", which are objective in nature.
Western countries are losing their positions in the world economy, if they "want to maintain their monopoly position at all costs, if they want to preserve the instruments of colonial influence in the world, then they will have to, using these instruments, be content exclusively with the position into which they are gradually sliding." Nevertheless, Russia is ready "to negotiate with them about everything."
Russia was promised never to expand NATO to the east: "After that, we had five waves of expansion, one could say six already." The security of one country "cannot be ensured at the expense of the security of another." NATO's ignoring of Russia's interests is "certainly a vestige of the old, if not ancient, neocolonial policy, to a certain extent modernized contemporary realities."
