Brief version of the news

Vladimir Putin before visit 16 -On May 17, Xi Jinping was interviewed by the Chinese Xinhua News Agency. He said he was ready to come to the negotiating table based on the Chinese peace plan. Such statements by the Russian dictator are strange, because the occupiers on the battlefield do not reduce offensive actions against Ukraine, but, on the contrary, strengthen them.
Political scientist Oleg Lesnoy told Channel 24 that Putin’s words have no meaning – the only thing that matters is what policy he pursues against Ukraine. The fact that the dictator allegedly admires China's peace plan only indicates an attempt to please Xi Jinping.
What are Putin's intentions
Lesnoy believes that Russia does not want peace, and what the occupiers are doing now: shelling of Ukrainian cities, endless attacks at the front, preparations for an attack on the Kharkov and Sumy regions – everything proves this.
With such actions, the Russians are not trying to raise the negotiating bar, because their ultimate goal is not Ukraine. They talk about this, threatening everyone,” the political scientist noted.
Russian rhetoric that they seem to be ready for negotiations, but Ukraine refuses them , according to Oleg Lesnoy, does not affect anything, because the enemy’s actions indicate the opposite.
