The US extent proposes Ukraine to declare a truce from the Russian Federation, calling it "victory" - FT

The media claims that Ukraine has an option to reach peace that is neither freezing the conflict nor the official conclusion of the agreement. The "intermediate" alternative is called a truce. That is, in theory, Ukraine and Russia could agree on the cessation of hostilities. At the same time, governments would not resolve any "deep political issues". "It is important that Ukraine still has access to the Black Sea and controls the Odessa port.

It was also given green light to start negotiations on EU accession, which should be combined with greater financial and technical assistance to start the process of recovery of the economy," - said in material. According to the newspaper, some "most ardent Western supporters" of Ukraine are already in favor of freezing the conflict and announcement of victory. "We must turn the narrative and say that (Vladimir, ed. ) Putin was defeated," the unnamed former US official said.

The media stressed that Ukraine is now using an "unprecedented level" in the world. Therefore, according to journalists, despite the "horrific price", the retained status of an independent nation can already be considered as an achievement. "In a great deal of story, it is a victory that really has a meaning," the edition added. The Russian permanent representative to the UN Dmitry Polyansky stated that Ukraine "lost the opportunity" to conclude a peace agreement with the Kremlin.

Now, according to him, the arrangement is possible only in the case of capitulation of Kiev. On December 14, Russian President Vladimir Putin assured the Russians that there would be no peace with Ukraine until Moscow has reached its goals. The leader of the aggressor country specified that it was a denacification, demilitarization and neutral status of Ukraine. On December 4, the advisor of the Presidential Office Mikhail Podolyak responded to the negotiation proposal.

He told what Russia actually offers. According to Podolyak, the Kremlin does not seek compromise, but urges Ukraine to capitulate. That is, Russian invaders want to legally consolidate the territories that have already been captured. Moreover, the official is convinced that such an agreement will only allow the Russian Federation to prepare the next offensive. On November 22, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky also spoke about negotiations with Moscow.

He stated that the war could be stopped by giving the enemy to Donetsk and Lugansk regions, as well as Crimea. "In my opinion, our country is not ready for such. It is not a peaceful plan," the Ukrainian leader emphasized. On December 14, the German edition of Bild published Russian plans for the following years of the war, citing intelligence data. The material states that Moscow is really preparing for negotiations - fictitious.
