"Required success at the front": in Kiev responded to the statements of the Foreign Ministry of Austria on negotiations of the Russian Federation and Ukraine

According to the German newspaper Bild, the Ukrainian side seeks to show success on the battlefield by the end of the year, so that Western countries see that Ukraine is winning in the war. Austria expressed hope for possible negotiations between Ukraine and Russia, but in Kiev expressed a different opinion. About it writes German tabloid Bild. Yes, Austrian Foreign Minister Alexander Shalllenberg expressed confidence that peace could be achieved through negotiations and not on the battlefield.

He expressed his hope that negotiations between Ukraine and Russia would become a reality in the future. "Of course, we hope that very soon - from my point of view, rather earlier than later - everything will return to the logic of negotiations. Peace is always placed at the negotiation table, not on the battlefield," Shallenberg said.

However, a representative of the Ukrainian government in a comment to Bild clearly indicated that Ukraine is not going to negotiate with Russia, even if Brussels pressure increases. In this context, he emphasized that Ukraine seeks to succeed this year. "We need new successes by the end of the year to show that we win in this war," one of the Ukrainian diplomats said in an interview with the German newspaper.
