On August 23, a meeting of the UN Security Council on the situation at the Zaporozhye NPP was held, which was convened by Russia. occupiers always do this when they want to cover up their own crimes or divert attention.
About Channel 24said Ukrainian political scientist Taras Semenyuk. According to him, in fact, Russia's main task is to retain the Zaporizhzhya NPP and gradually connect it to the Russian energy systems. Although this is very difficult to do, given that new power lines need to be built, which Ukrainian partisans will immediately know about.
In addition, the Russians are constantly throwing out the myth that Ukraine does not want to negotiate with Russia. Indeed, in the current conditions, no one will negotiate with the occupiers. But then, when the situation at the front changes, these negotiations are quite real.
the Russians asked for negotiations on the 2nd or 3rd day of the war
Position President Volodymyr Zelensky is now quite correct – nothing to talk about. Ukraine is receiving weapons and now only negotiations are possible – the Russians must get out of the occupied territories, and then it is worth considering how to arrange a new security system in Europe.
As Semenyuk notes, when Ukraine was ready to negotiate, the Russians put forward unacceptable demands.
To be honest, it was the Russians who asked for negotiations on the 2nd or 3rd day of the war. The invaders already understood that the dynamics of the offensive was subsiding, so they wanted to somehow fix what they had captured. They still want negotiations,” Semenyuk said.
The political scientist notes that the occupiers are now trying to arrange nuclear blackmail in order to persuade Ukraine to negotiate and reduce the dynamics of arms supplies. They hope that Western partners will force Zelensky to negotiate. In addition, the invaders understand that their offensive has seriously slowed down. They literally cannot go further en masse.
According to Semenyuk, for Ukraine, negotiations at the moment are actually a defeat . After all, then the positions of the parties are fixed, and the occupied territories will be assigned to the Russians.
Russians, even if negotiations take place, will still conduct referendum processes in parallel. They will not stop, they will dig even deeper and pedal “referendums”. The position of Ukraine is quite understandable – the complete withdrawal of troops, then it will be possible to talk about future processes, – said Semenyuk.
Recall that Volodymyr Zelensky proposed holding the Summit of the Future under the auspices of the UN in Kyiv. It would be symbolic to organize it in Ukraine, where it is really decided whether “there will be a future at all”
