Ukraine Gate- Kyiv – May 17, 2022 – Ukraine considers unacceptable initiatives to cede some territory to Russia in order to achieve peace.
This was stated by Adviser to the Chief of Staff of the President’s Office, Mikhailo Podolak, on the air of the media marathon of a number of UAa TV channels.
“The price of the war is very high. We killed many civilians. And they were not only killed, but were killed, ironically, because this was the philosophy of the Russian Federation: come to Ukraine and kill people lightly. Not just to kill, but to do it sarcastically, to do it en masse. , to rape, etc. It is ideologically unacceptable to give something to the Russian Federation and pretend that it was some kind of easy war. “It is impossible,” he said.
Podolak also calls for unacceptable proposals for a so-called cease-fire without the withdrawal of Russian forces, in which case Russia would control part of the Ukrainian territory.
Adviser to the chief of operations assured that there will be no signing of agreements like “Minsk-2” because such decisions will only postpone the war for some time.
At the same time, he reported that the Russians are still in their stereotyped thinking, in fact, they have not changed their directives on negotiations since the beginning of the mass invasion and the negotiation process with Russia is currently suspended.
“They (the Russians – liberated) live in a world in which there seems to be a ‘Ukrainian Nazi’. The world already understands even this. In principle, it is documented that today there is only one type of Nazism in the world – Russian Nazism. But they did not find out. distance.
Reportedly, French President Emmanuel Macron said neither side should be humiliated after the war, and called for ways out of the situation for Russia to be found.
In response, President Volodymyr Zelensky emphasized that Ukraine was not ready and would not “save Putin’s face” and make any concessions to its sovereignty to end the war.
