"Trying to achieve additional concessions": in ISW ​​explained why the Russian Federation is delaying peace talks

To spread: Russian authorities specifically and artificially tries to delay peace talks in order to achieve additional concessions during this time. This is stated in the report of the American Institute for War Study (ISW). "Russia seeks to delay peace talks to continue offensive actions in Ukraine and to achieve additional concessions from Ukraine and the West," the report reads.

In particular, Russian officials continue to demonstrate the Kremlin's rigid position on the eve of the second round of peace talks, which should take place on June 2 in Istanbul. And this indicates an extremely low probability of achieving significant results in this meeting in favor of a long peace in Ukraine.

According to analysts, such a conclusion can be drawn, taking into account several factors: the ISW emphasized that the repetition of the Russian side of the long -made requirements and the re -sending of a lower -level delegation indicates that Moscow's lack of interest in conducting bona fide negotiations.
