This opinion was expressed by Advisor to the Head of the Office of the President Mikhail Podolyak. He stressed that given the current situation at the front, there are no reasons for resuming negotiations.
Condition for negotiations with Russia
< p>Podolyak suggested that Ukraine would again agree to sit down at the negotiating table with the aggressor country when it was ready for it. However, there is one important condition for this.
These are powerful tactical victories of the Ukrainian army in the South and East directions. This is the liberation of Kherson, Melitopol, Berdyansk, access to the waters of the Sea of Azov. This is the return of Mariupol, which will be very symbolic,” said Podolyak.
He added that it is not just about the tactical pushing back of the Russians.
“It should be destruction of the maximum number< /strong>manpower and equipment of the Russian army,” said the adviser to the head of the President's Office.
How Ukraine wants to influence the Russians
According to Podolyak, the defeat of infidels in the war with Ukraine should make Russian society think .
“This is necessary so that people inside Russia begin to ask: “What exactly are we paying for with our people? You said that this is some kind of small “military operation” that will last a maximum of 5 – 7 days,” he said.
“The meaning of the life of Russians”
Podolyak noted that in order to effectively fight the enemy, Ukraine now needs long-range artillery.
“These are not just some whims of Ukraine We did not accumulate as many weapons as Russia accumulated,” he stressed.
The adviser to the head of the President's Office added that it is important to realize that Russians have no other meaning in life than “to come to someone's house and destroy it”.
This needs to be fixed and move on. And to go further is to inflict a military defeat on Russia. After that, we will sit down at the negotiating table,” Podoliak said.
