Putin suggested that Ukraine abandon the size of the size of Israel and Slovenia - analyst
Bild analyst Julian Ryopke told why this was only another provocation from the Kremlin. The proposal of Moscow states that the Armed Forces should leave the territories of Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporizhzhya and Kherson regions, as well as to abandon their ambitions regarding NATO membership, which is absolutely not realistic.
If this is somehow, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation allegedly ready to stop the fire at the very moment and start real negotiations on how to end the war between countries. The analyst is convinced that it is only a provocation that has nothing to do with reality. "To fulfill the requirements, Ukraine would have to immediately release the territory the size of Meklenburg-ahead of Pomerania (land in Germany with an area of 23 293 square kilometers-ed. ) .
Although Russia is slowly moving forward, it will take decades at the current rate to conquer the territory to which it now claims, " - the message reads. Bild also wrote that the territory that Ukraine should refuse, is comparable to the size of some countries around the world. The total area of Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporizhzhya and Kherson regions is larger than the size of Northern Macedonia, Slovenia or Israel.
In the end, the analyst concluded that the President of Russia is desperate when he asks for such things. "Thus, Putin's proposal is rather a cry of despair than a proposal that should be taken seriously. He knows that Ukraine cannot accept it because nothing indicates that it will lose the necessary territories in the battlefield in the coming months and years" , - summed up Julian Ryopke.
