At a time when the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has further escalated, Putin has set a series of conditions for a ceasefire. Compared to before, Putin's attitude has softened, and the Kremlin has expressed interest in reaching a ceasefire agreement with Ukraine. However, the premise of the ceasefire is that Russia continues to control the four regions in eastern Ukraine. Most notably, Putin **abandoned his previous position of asking Zelensky*** and allowed Ukraine to remain as a sovereign state, and willKievas its capital. Although Putin has made certain concessions, this ceasefire condition is obviously unacceptable for Ukraine.
Putin's ceasefire conditions are a clear signal. They are willing to stop military operations, but they are not willing to make more concessions. This is an acceptable result for the Russian army, since they have already captured a fifth of the territory of Ukraine. However, for Ukraine**, the question is not only about a ceasefire agreement, but also about whether the aid from Western countries can be sustained.
In addition to the difficulties faced by the US aid program, the EU has also postponed a new support package for Ukraine. At the recent EU summit, the 27 member states failed to reach an agreement, and the aid plan was shelved until next spring. This has created more difficulties for Ukrainian forces on the front line, as they face a severe shortage of military aid funds.
Ukraine** Zelensky made it clear at a press conference that the Ukrainian side has not yet seen the possibility of peace talks, because the Russian side does not intend to accept the peace plan proposed by the Ukrainian side. Although Ukraine is facing a difficult situation, Zelensky firmly believes that the Ukrainian army will not be beatenRussian armyDefeat. In the face of the tough statement of the Ukrainian side,The KremlinSpokesman Dmitry Peskov said that there is no urgency to enter into peace talks with Ukraine, they believeKievThe so-called "peace plan" pursued is doomed to failure.
Ukraine is under tremendous pressure on diplomatic, economic and military fronts. The U.S. is partisan over the aid package, and the postponement of the EU aid package has further exacerbated the plight of the Ukrainian army. Despite the series of challenges faced by the Ukrainian side, Zelensky does not intend to give in. They firmly believe that the Ukrainian army is capable of withRussian armyconfrontation, and continue to fight for the restoration of territorial sovereignty.
