Ukraine now has no “no motives” to negotiate with Russia. About this, the adviser to the head of the office of the President of Ukraine Mikhail Podolyak said in an interview with Babel.
“Negotiations with the Russian Federation today will mean only one thing: what Russia has won. … Today [negotiations] are a fixed defeat of Ukraine, the defeat of Europe, democratic values as such are recorded. And after that the fall of the entire security system of global , the systems of values that we relate to ourselves. … Any negotiations today with the input capabilities, they would record a civilizational catastrophe. Are you ready to go for it? The price that Ukraine has already paid and which we pay is much higher, What is the opportunity to cease fire right today, ”said Podolyak, commenting on the opinion of the British expert on Ukraine Timothy Ash that peace negotiations could resume around 2022 if the Armed Forces of Ukraine received a strategic advantage in the Kherson region.
