Russia-Ukraine war started, Putin once again let go of the peace talks. If Ukraine is willing, this war may end at any time. Otherwise, Russia will use the military to make the final call.
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 split Russia as much as possible; while Russia has been uniting its people, this is the most fundamental difference between the two countries on this conflict , 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 talks plan, and it is Ukraine that is really resistant to peace talks. The implication is that if Ukraine can meet the conditions put forward by Russia, the war may end as soon as possible. How did Ukraine react to this?
The Ukrainian government's response to Putin was also straightforward. Ukrainian Presidential Adviser Podolyak publicly stated that Putin should "return to reality" as soon as possible. No matter how high-sounding he said in front of the media, it cannot cover up the fact that Russia has attacked and bombed Ukraine. In Podoliak's view, 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 to a large area of Ukraine. The northern Russian army pointed directly at the Ukrainian capital Kyiv ; the eastern Russian army aimed at Kharkov , Luhansk and Donetsk three major cities; the southern Russian army went north from Crimean Peninsula , and went straight to Zaporozhye and Kherson . Although Ukraine has deployed defenders in these cities, in addition to repelling the Russian army from Kyiv in the north to Ukraine, large areas of land such as Kherson and Kharkov were quickly captured by the Russian army. Later, with the help of NATO , Ukraine stabilized its foothold, and began a difficult counterattack, and also regained part of its territory.
Under such circumstances, Ukraine is not willing to negotiate peace because the losses they have suffered cannot be recovered through peace talks. If peace talks are insisted, then Russia needs to withdraw from all Ukrainian territories including Crimea, compensate Ukraine for war losses, and put Russian leaders on trial for war crimes. It is absolutely impossible for Russia to accept such peace talks. As long as Russia has a chance, it will continue the war until the winner is determined.
Now, Russia has issued an ultimatum to Ukraine. Since it cannot meet Russia's requirements through negotiations, Russia has asked the military to make a decision. The meaning of Russia's words may imply 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 Russo-Ukrainian War really develops like this, it will be a huge disaster for Europe and the whole world. The statement of the British royal family is representative. He recently stated that due to the impact of the Russo-Ukraine war, the cost of living of the British people has increased sharply, and the short-term shortage of energy supply is very serious. Other countries in Europe are also suffering from the same problem. Food prices are skyrocketing, energy supply is insufficient, and some countries cannot provide sufficient heating and food in winter.
So, in order to avoid a worse outcome, it is time to discuss how to end this war. Whether it is Russia, Ukraine, or the NATO countries hiding behind, a truce may be the best option.
