Russians need negotiations, because they see that the situation at the front now is not in their favor. However, negotiations on the part of Ukraine will be possible only when the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are even stronger.
David Arakhamia, head of the Servant of the People faction, said this on the air of the national telethon. It was he who headed the Ukrainian delegation at previous negotiations, in particular, in Belarus.
Russians need negotiations now more than 1-2 months ago
Arakhamia noted that the Russians now need negotiations much more than 1-2 months ago. In particular, from time to time there are signals from them, are we ready?
“They have such a slow probing of the soil,” the people's deputy noted.
He connects this with the success of the Armed Forces of Ukraine , the events in Crimea and the fact that the Russians cannot finally establish their power in the occupied territories. Yes, how did they manage it in ORDLO.
People refuse to cooperate with them. Even a long time has passed, but a lot of failures. They still cannot arrange their pseudo-referendum,” Arakhamia stressed.
Also, according to him, the Russians believe that now is the best moment for them to negotiate, because they feel that the situation will only get worse further.< /p>
There were 5 of us, and the Russians had 30 behind us
The head of the Servant of the People faction also recalled preliminary negotiations with the Russians. He said that he felt a terrible responsibility and was afraid that something might go wrong.
“We were nervous because there were 5 of us sitting at the table. They have the same, but behind them there are about 30 people. Someone took our psychological portraits, someone watched, someone from intelligence,” emphasized Arakhamia.
He added that it was indeed very difficult to contain his emotions. And several times the Ukrainian delegation got up from the table, realizing that a scolding or a fight could begin.
We took time out, went to another room and talked to each other that emotions cannot be preferred now. Because the Russians tried to unbalance us and thus gain an advantage,” the people's deputy said.
However, Arakhamia noted that in spite of everything, Ukraine won the first stage of the negotiations. And even Russia has recognized this.
Negotiations between Ukraine and Russia: latest news
- Mikhail Podolyak is sure that there will be even more soon proposals from Russia to sit down at the negotiating table. “Russia is entering a deep military personnel crisis: mobilization cannot be announced, because the “king is naked”, and you will not find volunteers with a candle during the day,” the adviser to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine said.
- Podolyak also said that the offer of negotiations from Russia is not a sincere desire, but a trap. For this is not about ending the war, but about strengthening its positions.
- Political scientist Taras Semenyuk believes that negotiations will be possible only after Russia withdraws its troops. But paths won't do that until the last one.
