Volodymyr Zelenskyy: “Aimed at compelling it [Russia] to end the war.”

Putin does not want peace talks at the moment, in any form.

They are slightly on Russia’s side. And by ‘slightly,’ I mean not direct weapons supplies, but a greater openness to them, a greater willingness to help them rather than us – and for a country as large as China, ‘slightly’ means a lot.

And now we can see how cash will start flowing back into Russia through the diesel deal.

He is playing with words… It simply looks like a parody of a genuine desire to end the war. He does not want to end the war. I am convinced that this is also why Donbas is not enough for him.
