Sends signals: Putin is ready for negotiations with Ukraine - Bloomberg

However, US officials say that they do not see any signs that Russia is ready to end the war in Ukraine. In particular, the hints of the Russian Federation about negotiations, even if they are not sincere, are jeopardized by the efforts of Zelensky with respect to the "formula of peace", which envisages the complete withdrawal of Russian troops from the Ukrainian territory.

The sources of the publication say that Putin was given the relevant readiness for negotiations to the US High officials last month. Probably, the President of the Russian Federation is ready to give up the requirement of the neutral status of Ukraine and Ukraine's accession to NATO. However, the Russian President wants to leave captured territories under the control of Russia, which is about 18% of the Ukrainian territory.

According to a spokeswoman for the US National Security Council Adriana Watson, America does not know about changes in Russia's position and Ukraine will decide on its own whether it is negotiating with Russia. Journalists write that publicly Vladimir Putin did not announce that he was ready to stay on the current front line. At the same time, Ukraine holds a position that aims to return all the Earth captured by Russia.

According to Presidential Office Mikhail Podolyak, Ukraine is ready for negotiations with Russia to end the war, but this can only happen under certain conditions. According to him, all wars end in negotiations, but it all depends on what position you start when you start them. Negotiations can occur when the Russian Federation will receive some tactical defeats and social tension will be observed in the state-state state.

Also at the end of December Podolyak told reporters that there would be no negotiation in the classical sense. There will be only ultimative requirements for Russia, which it will accept. According to Deputy Minister of Defense Ivan Havrylyuk, Russia will in any case end in negotiation. However, they will only take place on Ukraine. It is about the return of Ukrainian territories within the 1991. After that, mechanisms will be created that will not allow Russia to attack Ukraine again.

We will remind, according to the adviser of the Chancellor of Germany Olaf Soltz, that to end the war in Ukraine is not easy, because Russia against the very existence of Ukraine as a sovereign state. Therefore, in his opinion, the problem is not in the absence of negotiations with Russia. Also that Vladimir Putin secretly hints at the readiness for negotiations in December, the journalists of The New York Times wrote. They noted that the Russian president signals through intermediaries.
