Russians murder on the day of their negotiations with Zelensky
In a sobering address on August 15, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky discussed the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, stating that there are no clear signs that Russia, under President Putin, is genuinely ready to end the war.
The regions of Sumy, Dniprovshchyna, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, and Donetsk have recently been targeted by Russian attacks, with reports of strikes in these regions continuing. Zelensky emphasised that these attacks underscore the Russian regime's and Putin's real intentions, which are not peaceful.
Despite Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov's statements claiming Russia wants peace and that negotiations could continue, analysts suggest these statements align with Putin's strategy to seek concessions in US-Russia relations rather than meaningful peace progress. Putin has even referenced hopes for improved US-Russia relations tied to former President Trump’s potential return, indicating he is leveraging bilateral relations rather than engaging deeply in peace talks.
Lavrov insists that peace talks require careful preparation and higher-level engagement, but no significant breakthrough or agenda for a Putin-Zelensky meeting is reportedly ready. Trump has expressed frustration with the stalled peace process and has shifted deadlines for imposing further sanctions on Russia, showing diplomatic efforts are ongoing but not yielding a conclusive move toward peace.
Militarily, Russian forces continue offensive operations with no confirmed major advances, indicating the conflict remains active despite diplomatic statements. Ukraine, in contrast, calls for a “just peace” decided by Ukrainians themselves, emphasising the gap between Russian intentions and Ukrainian demands.
Zelensky has been actively discussing potential solutions for ending the war with the United States of America and Europe, expressing hope for a strong position from America, as the Russians take into account American power. Despite the ongoing violence, everyone involved, including Ukraine, is ready to work productively to end the war.
