the restoration of their territorial integrity is for Ukraine the Main condition for the resumption of talks with the war enemy Russia. His country also needs guarantees in the form of modern air defense, aircraft, tanks and long-range missiles, Secretary of the National Security Council of Ukraine Oleksiy Danilov wrote on Twitter. The strategy is: proactive steps. “Russian missiles must be destroyed in the air, on land and at sea before launch.”
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Monday he was open to talks with Russia, but only “real” negotiations that would restore Ukraine’s borders, grant it compensation for Russian attacks and punish those responsible for war crimes. Shortly before, the Washington Post reported that the government in Washington supports Ukraine signaling its willingness to talk. Behind this is the concern that the government in Kyiv could jeopardize their international support if they show themselves to be too intransigent.
