It has all hit Kiev, so why is Russia still negotiating with Ukraine?

author:Zhang Ping interpreted

After the war between Russia and Ukraine, the Ukrainian capital was violently attacked by the Russian army, and both sides were actively vying for the dominance of the city, but the discerning people would find that Russia changed its previous strategy of taking the city hard in this battle, and instead actively sent a negotiating team to negotiate with the Ukrainian side.

Russia actively negotiates with Ukraine and does not want to harm Ukrainian civilians

Just as Ukraine and Russia opened fire, Russian President Vladimir Putin mentioned in a televised speech that Russia is not willing to seize Ukraine's territory and does not want to be an enemy of the Ukrainian people, and that the special military operation has been aimed at Ukraine's decadent regime from the beginning.

When the Russian army hit the capital Kiev, the Russian army did not open fire on a large scale, but chose to attack only important areas such as Ukrainian military bases and try to avoid harming civilians. Not only that, the Russian side has also actively sent a delegation to Belarus, hoping to be able to hold constructive negotiations with the Ukrainian side.

In Kiev, the Russians and Ukrainians fought in the streets, and the sound of explosions and gunshots sounded throughout the night, making it difficult for people to sleep peacefully. According to the news, Russia has completed most of the military targets, carried out strikes against 975 Ukrainian military infrastructure, paralyzed it, and destroyed 223 tanks and 39 multiple rocket launchers, etc., with a clear advantage on the battlefield.

But why should Russia, which has obvious advantages, "back down" and actively negotiate with Ukraine? Frankly speaking, Putin is not a soft-hearted person, his tough tactics, the international community is well known, but he rarely did not give a cruel hand this time, mainly because he is not willing to hurt Ukrainian civilians with the same roots as Russia, let alone directly destroy Ukraine, he has always promised Ukraine to "only be a neutral country" and "not to join NATO".

In the Russian-Ukrainian negotiations, Ukraine made rude demands

The Russian side has been actively promoting negotiations with the Ukrainian side, and the Russian delegation has reached the place of negotiations in the capital of Belarus and completed the first round of negotiations with the Ukrainian delegation. But previously, Podoriak, an adviser to the Office of the President of Ukraine, had said that Zelenskiy would not accept any conditions that were unacceptable to Ukraine, and would only accept full negotiations.

Zelenskiy said he hoped to negotiate peace with Russia, but was reluctant to accept negotiations in Belarus, believing that negotiating places such as Warsaw in Poland and Budapest in Hungary were more worth considering. Obviously, Zelenskiy did not have the sincerity to negotiate with the Russian side, not only frequently changed his attitude on the issue of whether he was willing to negotiate or not, but also said after the negotiations that the negotiations did not achieve the results expected by the Ukrainian side.

In fact, Ukraine is at a disadvantage on the battlefield and should learn to make reasonable concessions in the negotiations, but the Ukrainian side is aggressive and makes rude demands, and the Russian side will naturally not agree.
