Russia launched a massive missile attack on Ukrainian cities. At the same time, Vladimir Putin still consoles himself with the hope of the possibility of negotiations with Ukraine.
However, today there are no grounds for negotiating anything with Russia. About this 24 channelsMikhail Podolyak, adviser to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, said.
“We will be destroyed in a year and a half”
According to him, the Russian Federation wants to take away certain territories of Ukraine and “continue to put pressure on Ukraine so that our state does not exist as such.”
If today we sit down at the negotiating table and fix in essence the Russian negotiating position, this means that they will invest much more resources in the war and we will be destroyed in a year and a half. This is already obvious,” Podolyak emphasized.
“They will think that no one will get war criminals”
The adviser to the head of the Presidential Office noted that if Ukraine returns to the negotiation process, then Russia will consider that it has won the war and has the right to kill civilians and attack civilian infrastructure.
Today they are beating civilians on the air, killing civilians, regardless of where they are – in Lvov, Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Dnipro or Nikolaev. If they don’t suffer any punishment for this, they will think that no one will ever get war criminals,” Podolyak said.
How Russia can act after negotiations
He added that in this case, Russia will continue to invest the maximum amount of resources in militarization.
Today, speaking to the governors, Putin said that the Russian army should be made much better. That is, they will work on the bugs, accumulate even more precision-guided weapons, take more drones to Iran and go further to Ukraine,” the adviser to the head of the Presidential Office emphasized.
