2. SOUNDBITE (Russian) Pyotr Tolstoy, head of the Russian delegation, Deputy State Duma Chairman:
“Hatred for Russia and the desire to show solidarity with Ukraine in every possible way dominates the (OSCE Parliamentary) Assembly. Weapons, weapons, weapons. Victory, victory, victory. This is the key message of most of the speeches during the winter Assembly. I want to emphasise once again that the more weapons (are supplied to Ukraine), the further we will go. We will ensure the security of Russia at any cost.”

4. SOUNDBITE (Russian) Pyotr Tolstoy, head of the Russian delegation, Deputy State Duma Chairman:
“Being euphoric about the alleged military victories of Ukraine, you are making a strategic mistake by getting involved in this conflict. When your President (French President Emmanuel) Macron, when Western leaders supply weapons to Ukraine, long-range weapons, it only means that we will have to go further and further. And then on the Polish border we will talk about who is advancing, and who is isolated from whom.”
5. Journalist asking question
6. SOUNDBITE (Russian) Pyotr Tolstoy, head of the Russian delegation, Deputy State Duma Chairman:
“Of course, if the dialogue is in demand, and if the West stops convincing Ukraine to defeat Russia on the battlefield - which is impossible, Russia has not lost wars in Europe - then, of course, we will be ready for such a dialogue. As of today, there is no dialogue so far.”
7. Wide of news conference
STORYLINE:
The head of the Russian delegation to the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) Parliamentary Assembly on Friday warned the West over suppling weapons to Ukraine.

"I want to emphasise once again that the more weapons (are supplied to Ukraine), the further we will go," Pyotr Tolstoy said during a briefing in Vienna.

"We will ensure the security of Russia at any cost.”

He added if the West "stops convincing Ukraine to defeat Russia on the battlefield" Moscow would be ready for talks.
