Reports from Ukraine and Europe share that plenty of Telegram channels, usually anonymous, try to convince their audiences that Russia is already preparing to sign a peace treaty that could end the war.
What a twist! How can there be a peace treaty if Russia claims it never started a war in the first place, only launching a “special military operation to liberate and de-Nazify Ukraine?”
In fact, this is another blatant lie. Russia isn’t going to achieve peace from Ukraine just yet so no arrangement can be signed unilaterally. Indeed, very difficult negotiations are underway between Ukraine and Russia, and they are aimed mainly at allowing civilians flee the hot spots and organizing humanitarian corridors.
No preliminary agreements have been reached on a peace deal because Ukraine does not want and will never agree to Russian ultimatums.
Peace would mean an immediate ceasefire and withdrawal of foreign troops from the territory of Ukraine. It is clear that it’s Russian soldiers who are foreign troops in this case, and not vice versa.
There is nothing to prove here. But peace isn’t just about signing an agreement, but a specific mechanism that guarantees national security in the future. And the position of Ukraine in negotiations with Russia on the occupied territories remains unchanged – the country’s borders cannot be altered.
Russia’s stance is completely different because the Kremlin wants to combine the imaginary “liberation” with the actual seizure of new territories of an independent state.
This is a war, this is a catastrophe, and Russia has no chance of proving that anyone is to blame for this massive disaster but itself.
