Did not give up its goals: the ISW evaluated the readiness of the Russian Federation for real negotiations on Ukraine

According to analysts, the Kremlin regularly simulates interest in negotiations. This is part of an information operation against the event. Russia is still going to win new territories of Ukraine, as well as destroy Ukrainian statehood and identity. Analytics of the American Institute for War Study (ISW) are given this opinion.

The report of May 24 states that the Western media is increasingly reported that the Kremlin's head Vladimir Putin is allegedly interested in ceasing fire in Ukraine and negotiations. However, as it is noted, the rhetoric of Moscow and the military actions of the Russian army indicate that the Russian Federation is still not interested in truly meaningful negotiations and the settlement of the conflict.

According to analysts, in Western media there are also contradictory reports from anonymous US officials. Some say that Putin is allegedly ready for negotiations, while others cannot confirm this information. ISW reported that the Kremlin regularly simulates interest in negotiations. This is part of an information operation against the event. Analysts cannot confirm the truth of media reports that Moscow is allegedly really ready for negotiations.

Moreover, such reports contrast sharply with the official rhetoric and actions of the Kremlin. In recent months, Russian troops have reported offensive operations in recent months to achieve significant operational success. Moreover, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation want to cause long -term damage to military and economic capabilities of Ukraine.

"These military operations suggest that the Kremlin is more interested in achieving its long-term purpose-maximalist victory over Ukraine than in any settlement that would immediately freeze the front line," the report reads. We will remind, in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine explained that it is on anonymous statements about Putin's readiness to freeze the war.
