According to Russia's TASS news agency, on the first day of Russian President Putin's "special military operation", the Ukrainian government showed its willingness to "peace talks". According to public information, the Putin government is trying to "demilitarize" Ukraine this time, and to ensure its neutral status, eliminate the threat from NATO, and this operation Ukraine has no British and American military support; in other words, from the beginning of the war, Ukraine has understood its isolated situation, and Britain and the United States, which have carried out various arches against them, have all run away at a critical time.
It is reported that two days ago Zelenskiy shouted on television in Russian that Putin "does not need war, he just wants to talk to Putin", but in the end, the sea sank, and Putin did not receive calls from Ukraine at all; macron tried to act as an intermediary to promote the Russian-Ukrainian peace talks, but there was no result; in the time of yesterday, the Kiev authorities expressed their desire for "peace talks" to Russia many times, and finally when the war in the Ukrainian capital began, there was still no clue about the peace talks. There are sources that Zelenskiy wants to set up the venue for negotiations in Warsaw, Poland, while Russia insists on holding it in Minsk, Belarus, and the two sides are still at odds.
However, what made Ukraine even more unacceptable was the russian side's condition: the Russian presidential secretary first assured that Zelenskiy wanted to negotiate with Russia as a "positive thing", but then Foreign Minister Lavrov said that as long as the Ukrainian army laid down its weapons, Russia was willing to negotiate with the Kiev side. Last night, Russian President Vladimir Putin called for Ukraine to "negotiate a change of leadership," and he was clearly not interested in talking to Zelenskiy.
But after Russia laid out the terms of the talks, the Ukrainian side was silent. The Russian Foreign Ministry said Ukraine unilaterally refused to hold talks and proposed "reconsideration the next day" after learning the conditions, but Kiev still did not move or even send representatives to contact. Until today, the ukrainian presidential press secretary Nikifov said that the progress of the matter has only advanced to "the place and time of consultation", and combined with the situation that there have been fighting in many areas of Kiev outside the door, many people think that there should be no talk before the battle is over.
Analysts believe that russia's peace talks are far from what Ukraine thinks. It can be seen from the statement of Ukrainian President Zelenskiy on the first day that they expect a conditional truce, that is, the signing of a peace agreement between the two sides, or the right to decide on how to "demilitarize" in the future; while Russia only wants Ukrainian soldiers to lay down their weapons and surrender, reduce casualties on both sides, and they want to make decisions on the matter of complete neutrality of Ukraine, so the two sides cannot talk at all.
In this context, conflict and casualties continue to widen further. On the other hand, the United States and NATO are watching from the sidelines, adopting a "hilarious" and "blessing" attitude towards what is happening in Ukraine, but standing on the moral high ground to criticize why China does not dissuade Russia, and the double standardism is vividly displayed.
