Ten months after the war between Russia and Ukraine began, Putin once again relaxed his attitude towards peace talks. If Ukraine is willing, this war may end at any time. Otherwise, Russia will use its military to make the final decision.
Recently, Russian President Vladimir Putin made it clear in an interview with the media: In this Russia-Ukraine conflict, Ukraine has been looking for opportunities to divide Russia as much as possible; while Russia has been uniting its people. This is the most fundamental difference between the two countries in this conflict, and it is also Russia's unswerving political goal.
On the issue of whether Russia and Ukraine can end the war as soon as possible, Putin said: Russia has never rejected an acceptable peace negotiation plan, and it is Ukraine that is truly resistant to peace talks. The implication is that if Ukraine can meet the conditions proposed by Russia, the war may end as soon as possible. How does Ukraine react to this?
The Ukrainian government’s response to Putin was also very direct. Ukrainian presidential adviser Podolyak publicly issued a statement saying: Putin should "return to reality" as soon as possible. No matter how high-sounding he says in front of the media, he cannot conceal the fact that Russia is attacking and bombing Ukraine. According to Podoljak, Putin is not promoting negotiations, but using negotiations as an excuse to shirk responsibility.
After the outbreak of the Russo-Ukrainian war, the Russian army quickly advanced into Ukraine on a large scale. The northern Russian army aimed directly at Kiev, the capital of Ukraine; the eastern Russian army targeted the three major cities of Kharkiv, Luhansk and Donetsk; the southern Russian army moved north from the Crimean Peninsula, directly attacking Zaporozhye and Kherson. Although Ukraine deployed garrison troops in these cities, in addition to repelling the Russian army in the northern direction of Kiev, large areas of land such as Kherson and Kharkiv were quickly captured by the Russian army. Later, Ukraine stabilized its footing with the help of NATO , and began to carry out a difficult counterattack, and also regained some territory.
Under this circumstance, Ukraine is unwilling to negotiate peace talks because the losses they have suffered are difficult to make up for through peace talks. If peace talks are necessary, Russia will need to withdraw from all Ukrainian territory, including Crimea, compensate Ukraine for its war losses, and put Russian leaders on trial for war crimes. It is absolutely impossible for Russia to accept such peace negotiation conditions. As long as there is still a chance, Russia will continue the war until the winner is determined.
Now, Russia has issued an ultimatum to Ukraine. Since it cannot meet Russia's demands through negotiations, Russia has asked the military to make a decision. The meaning of Russia's words may contain the possibility of nuclear war . Because Russia only uses conventional military force, it is difficult to completely defeat Ukraine and achieve Russia's goals.
If the Russia-Ukraine war continues like this, it will be a huge disaster for Europe and the world. The British royal family's statement is representative. He recently stated that due to the impact of the Russia-Ukraine war, the cost of living in the UK has increased sharply, and the short-term energy supply shortage problem is very serious. Other countries in Europe are also suffering from the same problems. Food prices have skyrocketed, energy supplies are insufficient, and some countries are unable to provide adequate heating and food in winter.
Therefore, in order to avoid worse consequences, it is time to discuss how to end this war. Whether it is Russia, Ukraine, or the NATO countries hiding behind it, a ceasefire may be the best option.
