Podolyak: Moscow does not negotiate and dictate conditions

“Russia is not ready for dialogue, it only knows how to dictate its terms.” This was stated by Mikhailo Podolyak, adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, in an interview with Corriere della Sera, in which he spoke about the difficulty of resuming negotiations for a ceasefire. “Negotiation does not mean accepting unilateral conditions. The problem is that Moscow feels that it has three advantages and has no intention of giving them up in the name of peace – he explains -. First, it has amassed a lot of weapons and thinks it will be able to. To expel us from Donbass. Second, it believes …that lobbies in Europe would succeed in reversing public sentiments in favor of Ukraine. Third, they believed that gas, oil, grain and immigration would drive world public opinion to support it.” If Ukraine decides to give up Donbass, it “will not work. By giving in to Russian pressure and signing a peace agreement, the war will not end. It did not end in 2014, Russia regained its breath and attacked. That is. Once he does it against Europe – he continues – If Putin does not pay the price for this invasion, the next attack will be even more massive. Russia will continue to reclaim some of the territories it considers its own.”
