Another window period for Russia-Ukraine negotiations had already appeared, but with the passage of the new aid bill to Ukraine by the United States, it was closed again.
The United States will not allow Ukraine to negotiate with Russia with aid, and will inevitably urge Ukrainians to work for the United States.
The Russia-Ukraine conflict has been going on for more than two years, and the window for negotiation has been opened more than once. However, serious negotiations were conducted at the beginning of the war, but they were still sabotaged by the United States and Britain.
Now the German media has timely exposed the inside story of the Russia-Ukraine negotiation. The truth is almost the same as before, and some of the details are really embarrassing.
Russia and Ukraine have basically reached an agreement
According to "Reference News", a German media has obtained exclusive information-a 17-page document.
The document shows that Kiev and Moscow largely agreed on the conditions for the end of the war on April 15, 2022, leaving only a few outstanding issues that were not unsolvable but due to the authority of the negotiating team at the time If it is not enough, it needs to be negotiated face-to-face between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Zelensky.
Many high-level negotiations are like this. The early negotiation team is responsible for the main content of the negotiation. After the main issues are discussed, some symbolic corners are left to pave the way for the final decision-maker meeting. The final negotiation will be more It's more of a formality.
This means that Russia and Ukraine had already negotiated at that time.
According to the information previously disclosed by Russian and Uzbek negotiators, they all said so. The negotiations at that time could indeed end the war. The only difference was that the two presidents signed an agreement after meeting.
But the last step did not happen. Instead, Zelensky overturned the negotiated results that had been reached and signed a bill not to negotiate with Russia.
Both Russia and Ukraine made concessions.
German media revealed the draft reached at that time. Ukraine promised to be permanently neutral, avoid holding military exercises with foreign participation, and avoid participating in any military conflicts.
Russia promised not to attack Ukraine again and agreed that the United Nations' five permanent members could provide comprehensive security guarantees for Ukraine, but not including Crimea.
It can be seen that both parties have made concessions, and more importantly, they have also touched on the issue of territorial disputes, indicating that this is indeed a very in-depth agreement and is expected to fundamentally solve the problem.
A Ukrainian negotiator said that this is the best deal that Ukraine could have reached.
A senior Ukrainian politician who has left Zelensky's office also said that the Ukrainian negotiating team once opened champagne to celebrate.
These details show that Russia and Ukraine were extremely close to reaching a peace agreement two years ago. After the agreement was reached, the war continued to end.
It was precisely because Ukraine tore up the draft agreement that the war continued for another two years, and there were still no new signs of ending the war.
If an agreement had been reached at that time, there would have been no need for fighting in the past two years. Therefore, the fighting in these two years was in vain. Russia did pay a greater price, but Ukraine's losses were much greater than Russia's. They were even greater. victim.
The United States and the United Kingdom should lead the negotiations
The United States and the United Kingdom are the culprits for the failure of the negotiations. The two countries have been inciting Ukraine and Russia to confront each other, and oppose Ukraine privately reaching any peace agreement with Russia.
The United States and the United Kingdom sabotaged this negotiation because they were not directly involved. This move exposed the United States and the United Kingdom's ambition to lead the negotiations between Russia and Ukraine. Only in this way can they continue to use Ukraine to cause trouble, not only to target Russia, but also to target the EU.
Therefore, it is foreseeable that if the United States and Britain do not nod, it will still be difficult for Russia and Ukraine to conduct effective negotiations.
