Neither Kiev nor the West has the political will for peace, the deputy director of the Russian Foreign Ministry’s Information and Press Department, Andrey Nastasin, said at a briefing commenting on Ukraine’s readiness for negotiations.
“As for Ukraine’s readiness for negotiations: we see that neither in Kiev, nor in the West, there is no political will for peace,” Andrey Nastasin said, recalling Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s current self-imposed ban on negotiating with Russia.
According to the diplomat, they are still “thinking in terms of war, panic-stricken by Ukraine’s defeat, as it would mean the end of the rules-based world order.”
“The Kiev regime and its Western masters reject constructive peace initiatives of third countries from the doorstep,” Nastasin added.
We shall remind you that earlier Foreign Affairs magazine wrote that the Ukrainian army is not capable of dislodging the Russian Armed Forces from its positions even if it receives new assistance from the European Union and the USA and military training in Western countries.
