Russia says it is ready to hold talks with Ukraine but they must be based on existing reality and without preconditions, reiterated the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister, Sergei Vershinin. with these conditions from kyiv the door remains closed: “In his rhetoric about peace and negotiations, the Kremlin affirms that it will not leave the Ukrainian territories and will not be responsible for the crimes.. It is another proof that the negotiations are out of the question,” replied the Ukrainian presidential adviserMykhailo Podolyak, and recalled that the goal is “the victory of Ukraine, otherwise the war in Europe will not endand Russia will criminally dominate the world.”
kyiv’s red line for a solution to the conflict is indeed the same: the withdrawal of Putin’s troops and the restoration of Ukraine’s territorial integrity. A point that is even contained in the draft resolution to be presented to the UN General Assembly on the eve of the first anniversary of the February 24 invasion. The proposal, obtained by the press, underlines the need for a peace that guarantees “the sovereignty, independence, unity and territorial integrity of Ukraine”although the peace plan of ten points announced in November by President Zelensky. According to diplomatic sources, negotiations on the text have already begun.
