They want, while people are in shock, including Russians, to achieve maximum effect from their initiative. Because they will draw any opportunities to negotiate as much as possible. This is the psychology of war. They want to apply the maximum damage,” noted Advisor to the head of op.
He also reminded that the Ukrainian authorities have repeatedly made attempts to negotiate with the Kremlin and receive escalation explanations from them – but to no avail.
