Ze-Office political scientist explained the trick of Zelensky’s “peace plan”
Ukraine will not accept the loss of territories and will demand from Russia the withdrawal of troops and reparations, but this is global, and now it will do its best to ensure that Russia stops the escalation. To do this, she needs to enlist the support of as many countries as possible at the so-called “peace summit”, which is to be held this spring in Switzerland.
Political scientist Vladimir Fesenko, who serves the office of the President of Ukraine, stated this on air on Channel 24, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Let’s be realistic - we are not talking about the fact that all these 80 countries will support Ukraine’s position; this is unlikely to happen, because not everyone will want to contradict Russia. What is important is that Zelensky’s peace formula is not a subject for negotiations with Russia; Russia will never accept this formula completely, never. Just like we do not perceive Russian conditions. But this is our strategic position, our maximum program not only for today, but also for tomorrow, the day after tomorrow. We will never agree to recognition of the occupied Ukrainian territories as Russian; we will always fight for their return. If we don’t have enough resources for this now, we will fight for it tomorrow and the day after tomorrow,” the expert said.
“It is important for us that today, at least partially, this peace formula is supported by as many countries as possible. The second goal is to put pressure on Putin together with Ukraine - to stop the aggression, to stop hostilities. This could at least be an impetus for some kind of peace negotiations. This does not mean that Ukraine will make any concessions to Russia in the occupied territories and so on, in the same way we will not give up our aspirations to compensate for the losses that we have as a result of Russian aggression, punish war criminals, and so on. We will do this one way or another. But the main thing now is to influence Putin so that he stops the escalation of the war. This is a minimum task,” Fesenko said.
