Russia’s peace negotiations in the Ukraine war are just a ruse. A Zelenskyi advisor believes in a new Russian offensive.
the essentials in brief
- According to a Zelenskyi adviser, Russia is only negotiating to gain time.
- The Kremlin is planning a new offensive and is not interested in peace.
- The advisor asks for very advanced weapons systems for his country.
An adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has warned of hopes for an early peace solution to the Ukraine war.
If the Russian leadership now says that it is interested in a peaceful solution, this is a deceptive maneuver. This is what Alexander Rodnyansky said on Wednesday evening in the ARD program “maischberger.die woche”.
Russia’s goal is to buy time. Rodnyansky said that hope should also be raised among the people of Europe that there could be peace. During this time, Russia wants to recruit new troops and then start an offensive again.
“It’s a typical deception, very well thought out.” The Russian government knows that many people in Germany also hope for peace. “This regime only understands strength,” emphasized Selenskyj’s adviser.
Advisor believes in victory in Ukraine war
“Of course, all of us in Ukraine believe that we can win this war,” Rodnyansky said. The only question is how long it will take. And “how many people will die before we win it”. Further support is needed.
Rodnyansky reiterated that Ukraine would “ideally” want a no-fly zone. NATO has rejected this several times. If that doesn’t happen, an “intermediate solution” between such a zone and doing nothing is needed.
Ukraine must get “very advanced anti-aircraft weapons” such as the Patriot anti-aircraft missile system or ballistic missiles. It is in the interest of all Europeans to end this conflict as quickly as possible.
