Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s advisor Mykhailo Podolyak has said there can be no compromise on the peace formula presented by the country’s leader.
Explaining that any compromise would give Russia time to stay in occupied territories, Podolyak said any negotiations around “immediate ceasefires” and “negotiations here and now” also amount to a compromise on Ukraine’s side.
Podolyak stressed that the only basic “foundation for negotiations” is Zelenskiy’s peace formula”.
“Only the withdrawal of Russian troops to the 1991 border. One should have no illusions: any “Minsk-3” will only prolong the war in the future. It is precisely the “abandonment of illusions” that is happening today in many countries that yesterday misjudged Russia and its intention to “kill” international law...,” said the presidential advisor.
