"Russians want to negotiate": the expert named two conditions for conducting peace talks with the Russian Federation
" Volodymyr Fesenko, Head of the Center for Applied Political Studies "Penta", said that the US elections need to be held to start negotiations. "I am convinced that some negotiations begin, first, that elections to the United States are completed, because Russians want to negotiate with Americans," he said. The political scientist added that the second condition is the stabilization of the military situation.
This is due to the fact that the Russian Federation has some advantage, there will be expectations that the war will be won. "As soon as the situation on the front stabilizes and understanding that none of the parties will win, will have to agree," the expert summed up. According to President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, Russia plans to occupy the entire territory of Ukraine. Currently, almost a third of the land has been seized (27%).
He noted that Ukraine would not agree on peace by losing its own territory. "We do not join anything to our country, we do not change the legislation and the constitution. We do not need unnecessary foreign lands," the head of state emphasized. Volodymyr Zelensky also rejected the possibility of "exchange of territories" between Ukraine and the Russian Federation, which is mentioned in the context of "peace talks".
At the same time, the politician stressed that the further course of events depends largely on the actions of the Western partners and the weapons they will provide. In particular, US assistance will be arrived in the US, after the end of Joe Biden's cadence. Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke about negotiations with Russia before.
